We drank beneath the Apennines.

O Sun, O Bromius, grant that whole

In loving heart and virtuous soul

We to the quiet shades descend

(Where Horace is)—I and my friend.

Thy fortune smile upon the young

Like flowers around our banquet flung;

Peace to the mothers give, and fame

To valiant youth and love's sweet flame!

Odi Barbare.
