Ὥρᾳ σε κεῖνος θῆκεν ἀποφράδι Ὁ πρῶτος ὅστις χειρὶ τε βώμακι Ἔθρεψε, δένδρον, τῆς τε κώμης Αἴτιον, ἐσσομένων τ' ἔλεγχος. Κεῖνος τοκῆος θρύψε καὶ αὐχένα, Κεῖνος γε, φαίην, ἅιματι ξεινίῳ Μυχώτατον κοιτῶνα ῥαῖνε Νύκτιος, ἀμφαφάασε κεῖνος Τὰ δῆτα Κόλχων φάρμακα, καὶ κακοῦ Πᾶν χρῆμα, δώσας μοὶ ἐπιχώριον Σε στυγνὸν ἔρνος, δεσπότου σε Ἔμπεσον ἐς κεφαλὴν ἀεικῶς. Πάσης μὲν ὥρης πᾶν ἐπικίνδυνον Τίς οἶδε φεύγειν; δείδιε Βόσφορον Λιβὺς ὁ πλωτὴν, οὐδ' ἀναίκηρ Τὴν κρυφίην ἑτέρωθεν ὀκνεῖ. Πάρθων μάχημον Ρὡμάϊκος φυγὴν, Καὶ τόξα· Πάρθος Ρὡμαΐκην βίαν, Καὶ δεσμὰ· λάους ἀλλὰ μοίρας Βάλλε, βαλεῖ τ' ἀδόκητος ὁρμή. Σχέδον σχέδον πῶς Περσεφόνης ἴδον Αὔλην μελαίνην, καὶ κρίσιν Αἰακοῦ, Καλὴν τ' ἀπόστασιν μακαίρων Αἰολίαις κινύρην τε χορδαῖς Σαπφὼ πατρίδος μεμφομένην κόραις, Ἠχοῦντα καὶ σε πλεῖον ἐπιχρύσῳ, Ἀλκαῖε, πλήκτρῳ σκληρὰ νῆος, Σκληρὰ φυγῆς, πολέμου τε σκληρά Εὐφημέουσαι δ' ἀμφοτέρων σκιαὶ Κλύουσι θάμβει, τὰς δὲ μαχὰς πλέον, Ἀναστάτους τε μὲν τυράννους Ὠμιὰς ἔκπιεν ὦσι λᾶος. Τί θαῦμ'; ἐκείναις θὴρ ὅτε τρίκρανος Ἄκην ἀοιδαῖς, οὔατα κάββαλε, Ἐριννύων θ' ἡδυπαθοῦσι Βόστρυχες, ἡσυχίων ἐχιδνῶν. Καὶ δὴ Προμηθεὺς, καὶ Πέλοπος πατὴρ Εὕδουσιν ἠχεῖ τῷ λαθικήδεϊ· Ἄγειν λεόντας Ὠρίων δὲ Οὐ φιλεέι, φοβεράς τε λύγκας. Latin Poems. PART SECOND. SECULAR. III. ROYAL AND ACADEMICAL. NOTE. In our Preface to the present Volume we give the title-pages of the original publications wherein appeared the Royal and Academical Poems of this section; in the translation of which I owe again thanks to the friends of the former divisions, as their initials show; and another, Professor Sole, of St. Mary's College, Oscott, Birmingham, to whom I am indebted for that bearing his initials. One to the 'Princess,' celebrated before, is here printed as well as translated for the first time, as noted in the place. It was deemed preferable to include it with the others rather than among those hitherto unprinted. For brief notices of the various Royal and Academical celebrities of these poems, see Memorial-Introduction and related English poems in Vol. I. and notes in their places in the present Volume.
