Ode Nine
Snow's on the fellside, look! How deep;
our wood's staggering under its weight.
The burns will be tonguetied
while frost lasts.
But we'll thaw out. Logs, logs for the hearth,
and don't spare my good whisky. No water, please.
Forget the weather. Elm and ash
will stop signalling
when this gale drops.
Why reckon? Why forecast? Pocket
whatever today brings,
and don't turn up your nose, it's childish,
at making love and dancing.
When you've my bare scalp, if you must, be glum.
Keep your date in the park while light's whispering.
Hunt her out, well wrapped up, hiding and giggling,
and get her bangle for a keepsake;
she won't make much fuss.
– Horace (65-8 BC), translated by Basil Bunting (1977)
