Hor.ODE XIV.B.I. Adapted to the present times.
O Navis! referent in mare to nove,etc.
Under the allegory of a ship, the poet endeavoured to
disuade the Roman people from rushing again into the horrors
of a civil war.
Oh ship! by recent tempest tost,
So late arriv'd upon the coast;
Thee, shall new storms involve again,
Amidst the dread tremendous main.
. . . [27 more lines]
Oh! yet beware the dang'rous seas,
That lash the fatal Cyclades.
[signed] NAUTICUS.
