# Odes of Horace, Book 5/Ode 3

III
HOW unhappy (though unmarried) is an uncle who, bereft Of the solace of the wine-cup, is continually left  At the mercy of an energetic niece. Neobule is unfailing in attendance at the Games,  Imperturbably regardless of the Muses or their claims  And relentless in denying me release. Her equipment is amphibious: she can swim a mile or more; Her appearance in the saddle I both envy and adore; She's the super-Atalanta of the young. She declines to ply her needle, and she never reads a book, But she withers me completely with a single scorching look, And she cows me with the lashing of her tongue.
C. L. Graves.
# Odes of Horace, Book 5/Ode 4

IV
WHEN Florus, who of old was burning  With zeal for literary lore, Home from the Parthian front returning Came round on crutches to my door, I strove his ancient ardour to relume And oust Bellona from the Muses' room.
Whether 'twas Sappho or Alcaeus That tuned the authentic Lesbian lyre; Was ever swineherd like Eumaeus; Or whether we should more admire
Patient Penelope's heroic fraud, Or frank Nausicaa's innocence unawed—
In vain I challenged his opinion On these and other kindred themes; The master-passion's rude dominion Banished them ever from his dreams. Only of War and War's new arts he spoke, Of liquid fire and masks and poisoned smoke.
The strong unerring missile-flinger Above all poets he enthroned; Tyrtaeus was the only singer Whose spell ungrudgingly he owned, And deeply seamed with honorable scars He paid allegiance to no lord but Mars.
Yet can I dare to be censorious? Nay, when I honestly retrace My life through years of ease inglorious Back to Philippi's headlong race, Needs must I count it far the nobler part To die for country than to live for art.
C. L. Graves.
# Odes of Horace, Book 5/Ode 12

XII
HOW strange they seem, those hours of eld,
When on the slightest provocation,
Dear Bibulus, we were impelled
To unrestrained potation!
Alike when Sirius burned on high,
And when the days grew short and bleaker,
We dipped our noses, you and I,
Deep in the brimming beaker.
We talked of poetry and love—
Our hearts were sensitive as tinder—
And praised, all other bards above,
The majesty of Pindar.
But Oh! How little did I think
That I should come, the festive Flaccus,
To follow Pindar's rule of drink
And turn my back on Bacchus!
And yet when mighty Caesar banned
The wine-jar, and himself foreswore it,
With all the loyal in the land We simply grinned and bore it.
And though, at moments, for the cup That "elevates" my spirit hankers, I've doubled, through not liquoring up, My balance at my bankers.
My sleep is sound, my girth is less, My flaccid muscles daily harden; I rise betimes, I bathe and dress, And hoe my Sabine garden.
Nor am I conscious that my skill In poesy has been declining Since I repaired to nature's rill And made an end of wining.
Come then, when high affairs of State That keep you captive by the Tiber Relax their hold, and renovate Your jaded mental fibre.
I offer you unrationed fruit, Which I have lately learned to bottle, And pure Bandusian, undilute, Shall titillate your throttle.
Here, stretched at ease beneath the vine (Now balked in its malefic mission)
Shall we experience, as we dine,
The joys of Prohibition.
C. L. Graves.

"The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (German: Nussknacker und Mausekönig) is a story written in 1816 by Prussian author E. T. A. Hoffmann, in which young Marie Stahlbaum's favourite Christmas toy, the Nutcracker, comes alive and, after defeating the evil Mouse King in battle, whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. In 1892, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov turned Alexandre Dumas's adaptation of the story into the ballet The Nutcracker.

# Of Himself

William was once a bashful youth,  His modesty was such,
That one might say (to say the truth)
 He rather had too much.
Some said that it was want of sense,
 And others, want of spirit,
(So blest a thing is impudence,)
 While others could not bear it.
But some a different notion had,
 And at each other winking,
Observ'd, that though he little said,
 He paid it off with thinking.
Howe'er, it happen'd, by degrees,
 He mended and grew perter,
In company was more at ease,
 And dress'd a little smarter:
Nay, now and then would look quite gay,
 As other people do;
And sometimes said, or tried to say,
 A witty thing or so.
He eyed the women, and made free
 To comment on their shapes,
So that there was, or seem'd to be,
 No fear of a relapse.
The women said, who thought him rough,
 But now no longer foolish,
The creature may do well enough,
 But wants a deal of polish.
At length, improv'd from head to heel,
 'Twere scarce too much to say,
No dancing bear was so genteel,
 Or half so dégagé.
Now, that a miracle so strange
 May not in vain be shown,
Let the dear maid who wrought the change
 E'er claim him for her own.

Epistle XXIII.
To Fortunatus and Anthemius.
Gregory to Fortunatus, bishop, and Anthemius, guardian (defensori).
Catellus, the bearer of these presents, has informed us that his sister, who had been betrothed to one Stephen, has, through divine mercy moving her, been converted in a monastery at Naples, and that the same Stephen improperly detains a house and some other things belonging to her. And, inasmuch as legal decrees (Caus. 17, q. 2, c. 28) have appointed that a betrothed woman, should she wish to be converted, shall suffer no loss whatever, let thy Fraternity, together with Anthemius the subdeacon, endeavour by diligent enquiry to investigate the truth. And if, as we have been informed, you find that the Stephen above-named is keeping a house or anything else unjustly, let him be urgently warned by your exhortation to restore without any delay or altercation what he unduly detains, and not to defer under any kind of excuse the restitution of what is not his own. And if perchance you find him neglect your exhortation, notify this to us, giving also an accurate account of the
facts of the case, to the end that, when the merits of the case are known, he may be forced by other means, in accordance with equity, to make the restitution which he scorns to make of his own accord out of regard to honesty. Commending the bearer of these presents to thy Fraternity, we exhort thee to allow him no longer to suffer from delay on this account.

To Donus, Bishop.
Gregory to Donus, Bishop of Messana (Messene).
Moved by the benevolence of the Apostolic See, and by the order of ancient custom, we have thought fit to grant to thee, who art known to have undertaken the office of government in the Church of Messana, the use of the pallium; to wit, at such times and in such manner as we dispute not that thy predecessor used it; at the same time warning thee that, as thou rejoicest in having received from us a decoration of this kind to the honour of thy priestly office, so also thou strive, by probity of manners and deeds, to adorn, to the glory of Christ, the office which thou hast undertaken under our authority. For so wilt thou be conspicuous for decorations mutually answering to each other, if with such an habiliment of the body as this all good qualities of thy soul also agree. For all the privileges which are known to have been granted of old to thy Church we confirm by our authority, and decree that they shall continue inviolate.

Epistle XII.
To Montana and Thomas.
Gregory to Montana, &c.
Since our Redeemer, the Maker of every creature, vouchsafed to assume human flesh for this end, that, the chain of slavery wherewith we were held being broken by the grace of His Divinity, He might restore us to pristine liberty, it is a salutary deed if men whom nature originally produced free, and whom the law of nations has subjected to the yoke of slavery, be restored by the benefit of manumission to the liberty in which they were born.  And so, moved by loving-kindness and by consideration of this case, we make you, Montana and Thomas, servants of the holy Roman Church which with the help of God we serve, free from this day, and Roman citizens, and we release to you all your private property.
And, inasmuch as thou, Montana, declarest that thou hast applied thy mind to monastic profession, we therefore this day give and grant to thee two unciæ, which the presbyter Gaudiosus by the disposition of his last will is known to have left to thee in the way of institution, provided that all go in all respects to the advantage of the monastery of Saint Laurence, over which the abbess Constantina presides, and in which by the mercy of God thou art about to make profession. But, if it should appear that thou hast in any way concealed any part of the property left by the above-written Gaudiosus, the whole of this must undoubtedly be transferred to the possession of our Church.
Moreover to thee, Thomas above-written, whom for enhancement of thy freedom we desire also to serve among the notaries, we in like manner this day give and grant by this writ of manumission the five unciæ which the aforesaid presbyter Gaudiosus by his last will left to thee under the title of inheritance, together with the dowry which he had bestowed upon thy mother; to wit with this annexed law and condition, that, in case of thy dying without legitimate children, that is children born in lawful wedlock, all that we have granted thee shall revert without any diminution to the possession of the holy Roman Church. But, if thou shouldest have children both in wedlock, as we have said, and recognized by the law, and shouldest leave them surviving thee, then we appoint thee to remain master of this same property without any condition, and give thee full power to make a will with respect to it. These things, then, which we have appointed and granted by this charter of manumission, know ye that we and our successors will observe without any demur. For the rule of justice and reason suggests that one who desires his own orders to be observed by his successors should undoubtedly keep to the will and ordinances of his predecessor. This writ of manumission we have dictated to the notary Paterius to be put in writing, and for the fullest security have subscribed it with our own hand, together with three chief presbyters and three deacons, and have delivered it to you.
Done in the city of Rome.

Epistle XX.
To the Clergy and People Ariminum.
Gregory to the Clergy, &c.
Our pastoral charge constrains us to succour with anxious consideration any Churches that are deprived of the government of a priest. Accordingly, inasmuch as your Church has long been deprived of pastoral rule from the malady, as you know, of its own priest, we, moved by your entreaties, have not failed to admonish the said bishop, that, if he should feel himself recovered from that malady, he should resume the ministry of the priesthood undertaken by him. And he, having been again and again warned by us, has now under the pressure of the same malady intimated by a supplication addressed to us in writing that by reason of this malady he can by no means rise to the government of the said Church or to the office undertaken by him. We therefore, compelled by the hopeless condition of this same person, have held it necessary to take thought for the setting in order of your Church. We exhort, then, that all of you, with one consent, without noise or disturbance, choose with the help of the Lord such a priest to preside over you as may not be disapproved by the venerable canons, and also be found worthy of so great a ministry. And let him, when required, come to us to be ordained, with the solemnity of a decree attested by the subscriptions of all and followed up by the written approval of the visitor, to the end that your Church, by the Lord’s ordering, may have its own priest.
We desire also that him whom your unanimity may have chosen you take without delay to our brother and fellow-bishop Marinianus at Ravenna, that, having been thoroughly examined and tested by him, he may be supported by his testimony also when he comes to us.

Epistle II.
To Columbus, Bishop.
Gregory to Columbus, Bishop of Numidia.
We received at the hands of the bearer, your deacon, the epistle of your Fraternity, in which you informed us of what had been done among you with regard to the person of the bishop Paul. This has been done so late that he could not now have appeared here in person. For his Excellency also, our son Gennadius the Patrician, sent his chancellor to us with reference to the same case. But when we had caused enquiry to be made whether he was willing to plead against him [i.e. against the bishop Paul] before us, he replied that he had been by no means sent with this intent but had only brought hither certain three persons from his Church who would allege many things against him. While, then, we neither found him prepared to commence an action, nor were moved by the quality of those persons to regard them as fit accusers of a bishop, we could not gainsay or offer hindrance to the often before-mentioned bishop Paul, who petitioned us in the hope of having leave given him to resort to the royal city; but we presently allowed him according to his petition, with two others whom he should take with him, to set forth. If, then, there have been any things that could be reasonably said against him, the proper course would have been for him to come here at once, and for your Fraternity to inform us of all particulars, as you have now done.  For, as to your having signified to us that you suffer from the enmities of many on account of our frequently visiting you by our letters, there is no doubt, most reverend brother, that the good suffer from the grudges of the bad, and that those who are intent on divine works are harassed by the oppositions of the perverse. But, in proportion as these bad things are around you, ought you to be more instantly occupied with the care of the government committed to you, and to watch for the custody of the flock of Christ; and in proportion as the contrariety of unrighteous men presses upon you, ought the care of pastoral solicitude to inflame you to be more active, and very certain of the promised reward, to the end that you may be able to offer to the chief Shepherd gain from the work given you to do.
