precious one
Should leave her side.
IX.
NON SEMPER IMBRES.
The rainit rains not every day
On the soak'd meads; the Caspian main
Not always feels the unequal sway
Of stormsnor on Armenia's plain
Dear Valgiuslies the cold dull snow
Through all the year; nor northwinds keen
Upon Garganian oakwoods blow
And strip the ashes of their green.
You still with tearful tones pursue
Your lostlost Mystes; Hesper sees
Your passion when he brings the dew
And when before the sun he flees.
Yet not for loved Antilochus
Grey Nestor wasted all his years
In grief; nor o'er young Troilus
His parents' and his sisters' tears
For ever flow'd. At length have done
With these soft sorrows; rather tell
Of Caesar's trophies newly won
And hoar Niphates' icy fell
And Medus' flood'mid conquer'd tribes
Rolling a less presumptuous tide
And Scythians taughtas Rome prescribes
Henceforth o'er narrower steppes to ride.
X.
RECTIUS VIVES.
Liciniustrust a seaman's lore:
Steer not too boldly to the deep
36
Norfearing stormsby treacherous shore
Too closely creep.
Who makes the golden mean his guide
Shuns miser's cabinfoul and dark
Shuns gilded roofswhere pomp and pride
Are envy's mark.
