""The Lyrics of Horace: Done Into English Rhyme"" is a book published in 1870 that features a collection of poems written by the ancient Roman poet Horace, translated into English and rendered into rhyming verse. Horace's poetry often deals with themes of love, friendship, and the pleasures of life, and this book presents a selection of some of his most famous and beloved works. The translator, who is not named in the book, has attempted to capture the spirit and meaning of the original Latin while also creating a poetic and musical interpretation that will be accessible to modern readers. The resulting work is a celebration of the beauty and power of poetry, as well as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the greatest poets of the classical world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
