The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace

Book 4 — BOOK I, ODE 27.

John Conington translation

Our guest, Megilla's brother.

There is no warrant in the original for representing this person as a guest of the company; but the Ode is equally applicable to a tavern party, where all share alike, and an entertainment where there is a distinction between hosts and guests.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
