Horace.--Ode xxx.--B. 1.


TO VENUS.

_He invokes her to be present at Glycera's private sacrifice_


Venus! leave thy loved isle,
And on Glycera's altar smile;
Breathing perfumes hail the day,
Haste thee, Venus! haste away.

Bring with thee the am'rous boy;
The loose-rob'd Graces crown our joy!
Youth swell thy train, who owes to thee
Her charms, and winged Mercury!


ODE xxvi.--B. 3.

TO THE SAME.

_He renounces Love._
