_Ode 44. Lib. 4._

Cum meam nullis humeros onustus
Sarcinis tecum patriam reviso
Laetus, & parvo mihi cumque dives
Canto viator.
Tu siles moestum: tibi cura Musas
Demit, & multi grave pondus auri.
Quaeque te quondam male fida rerum
Turba relinquet.
Dives est qui nil habet; illa tantum
Quae potest certa retinere dextra,
Seque fert secum vaga quo, migrare
Jussit egestas.

As cheerefully I walke with thee,
My shoulders from all burdens free.
Our native soyle again to see
Rich to my selfe I sing,
Whil'st care strikes thee, and thy Muse dumb,
The heavy weight of thy vast summe,
Or what estate in time to come
The faithlesse rout may bring.
Hee's rich that nothing hath; Hee that
In's certaine hand holds his estate,
That makes himselfe his constant mate
Where need commands him go;

Quid mihi, qui nil cupiam, deesse
Possit? umbro si placet una _Pindi_
Vallis: o sacrum nemus, o jocosa
Rura Camoena!
Quae meos poscet via cunq; gressus,
Delphici mecum, mea regna, colles
Itis, & fessum comitante circum-
Sistitis umbra.
Me Gothus saevis religet catenis,
Me Scythes captum rapiat; soluta
Mente, vobiscum potero tremendos
Visere Reges.

What can I want, that nought desire?
Then _Pindus_ vale, I reach no higher:
O sacred Grove! O pleasant quire
In those coole shades below!
What paths soe're my steps invite
Ye Delphian hills, my sole delight
Doe goe with mee; in weary plight,
And veyle me with good grace.
Let th'_Goth_ his strongest chaines prepare,
The _Scythian_ hence mee captive teare,
My mind being free with you, I'le stare
The Tyrants in the face.

_Ad Munatium._

Nihil in rebus humanis non taedio plenum esse.

_Ode 15. Lib. 4._

To Munatius.

_That nothing in humane affaires is not full of tediousnesse._

Ode 15. l. 4.

Nil est, _Munati_, nil, iterum canam,
Mortale, nil est, immedicabilis
Immune taedi. Clarus olim
Sol proavis atavisque nobis,
Parum salubris, nec macula reus
Damnatur una; quicquid in arduo
Immortale mortales _Olympo_
Vidimus, invidiae caduca
Fuscamus umbra. non placet incolis
Qui Sol avitis exoritur jugis;
Aut prisca quae dudum paterna
