Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...of death.' ODE XIV. 4 Take heed, 0 ship, lest you drift out to sea again. Observe how shattered you already are by storms, and hasten eagerly into harbour and stay there.' The ship is the State, which is spoken of as shattered by the storms of civil war, and in danger of drifting back into the same dangerous waters. As to date, the Ode would refer to any of the early years of the sole rule of Augustus, and it is mere guess-work assigning to it a special and definite time of composition. Quintilian, vm. 6. 44, refers to this Ode as an instance of 'AWriyopla quae aliud verbis aliud sensu ostendit...navem Horatius pro re publico., fiuctuum tempestates pro bellis civilibus, portum pro pace et concordia dicit.

For the comparison of the State to a ship, and of statesmen to pilots, cf. Aesch. S. c. Theb. 1, and innumerable passages of Cicero to be found in Diet. under the word guberno. 2. fortiter occupa portum 'By a strong effort hasten to reach harbour (before it is too late).' For occupo cf. Gk. use of (p0dveu/ with a participle, and Od. 2. 12. 28, interdum rapere occupat=is the first to snatch. 3. uonne vides... 'Mark you not how the side is bare of rowers, and the mast damaged by the swift Afric wind, and how the yard-arms groan?...' It is better to understand sit after nudum, than with Orelli to make latus, malm and antennae all nominatives to gemant. 6. antenna= antemna=ava.Tewonivri. It is from words such as this that we infer that the pres. part. passive in ncnos was common originally to both Latin and Greek. Cf. Vertumnus, alumnus, &c. funibus Cf.
