Son of a freedman, eventually he became close friends with Virgil. His famous <em>Ars poetica</em> has been an abc of poetry practice and criticism. He was given a farm near Tivoli, and there he wrote his pastoral and other poems. His main works are his <em>Satires, Odes, Epodes,</em> and <em>Epistles.</em> His <em>Ars </em>suggests that a poet should read widely, and be precise and plain in thought and speech.<p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v23/bio/quintus-horatius-flaccus--horace?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v23/bio/quintus-horatius-flaccus--horace?#comments Bios author bio horace horace ii.10 latin poem poems poetry poetry translation quintus horatius flaccus ryan wilson translation v23 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 20:30:05 +0000 Alex Pepple 1505 at https://www.ablemuse.com Cleopatra https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/cleopatra? <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Horace 1.37</p> <p>Now for drinking, now for hitting the earth<br> and dancing, leaping, now, friends, is the time,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for a Salian<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><sup>1</sup></a> feast to . . . <br /> . . . . . . . . . .</p> <div id="ftn1"> _______ <p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" title=""><sup>1</sup></a>Salian priests of the god Mars were known for their lavish banquets and their leaping dances.</p><p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/cleopatra?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/cleopatra?#comments Poetry Translation cleopatra horace latin poem poetry translation translation v17 willis barnstone Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:10:27 +0000 Alex Pepple 1118 at https://www.ablemuse.com Highhanded Matchmaking https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/highhanded-matchmaking? <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Horace 1.33</p> <p>Albius, do not mope over Glycera,<br> sing no sad endless elegies for her<br> nor question why a . . . <br /> . . . . . . . . . .</p><p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/highhanded-matchmaking?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/highhanded-matchmaking?#comments Poetry Translation highhanded matchmaking horace latin poem poetry translation translation v17 willis barnstone Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:44:28 +0000 Alex Pepple 1117 at https://www.ablemuse.com Invitation https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/invitation? <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Horace 1.23</p> <p>Chloë,<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><sup>1</sup></a> you run from me like a young deer<br> seeking a fearful mother through bleak hills,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;yet . . . <br /> . . . . . . . . . .</p> <div id="ftn1"> _______ <p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" title=""><sup>1</sup></a>Chloë means &ldquo;a tender or new shoot&rdquo; in Greek.</p><p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/invitation?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/invitation?#comments Poetry Translation horace invitation latin poem poetry translation translation v17 willis barnstone Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:32:50 +0000 Alex Pepple 1116 at https://www.ablemuse.com O Ship, The Waves Are Sweeping You https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/poetry-translation/horace/o-ship-the-waves-are-sweeping-you? <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>O Ship, The Waves Are Sweeping You<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><sup>1</sup></a></strong><br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Horace 1.14</p> <p>O ship, the waves are sweeping you out to sea<br> again.
