Nunc est bibendum, Cleopatra's Death
Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede liberum
the time to drink and dance the earth in rhythm.
Before this it was infamous to banquet,
while Cleopatra plotted to enthrone
her depravity naked in the Capitol –
impotent, yet drunk on fortune's favors!
Caesar has tamed your soul, you with a
now sober eye the scowling truth of terror –
O Cleopatra scarcely escaping with a single ship
Caesar, three decks of oars – O scarcely escaping
when the sparrowhawk falls on the soft-textured dove.
You found a more magnanimous way to die,
not walking on foot in triumphant Caesar's triumph,
no queen now, but a private woman much humbled.
– Horace (65-8 BC), translated by Robert Lowell (1973)
