Translation from Horace
[Ode Three, Book Three]
The man of firm and noble soul
No factious clamours can control;
No threat'ning tyrant's darkling brow
Can swerve him from his just intent:
Gales the warring waves which plough,
By Auster* on the billows spent,
To curb the Adriatic main,
Would awe his fixed, determined mind in vain.
Ay, and the red right arm of Jove,
Hurtling his lightnings from above,
With all his terrors there unfurled,
He would unmoved, unawed, behold.
The flames of an expiring world,
Again in crashing chaos rolled
In vast promiscuous ruin hurled,
Might light his glorious funeral pile:
Still dauntless 'midst the wreck of earth he'd smile.
– Horace (65-8 BC), translated George Gordon, Lord Byron (1807)
