Translation:Odes (Horace)/Book I/11

by Horace

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
You should not ask, it is unholy to know, for me or for you what end the gods will have given, O Leuconoe, nor Babylonian calculations attempt. Much better it is whatever will be to endure, whether more winters Jupiter has allotted or the last, which now weakens against opposing rocks the sea Tyrrhenian: be wise, strain your wines, and because of brief life cut short long-term hopes. While we are speaking, envious will have fled a lifetime: seize the day, as little as possible trusting the future.	Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios temptaris numeros. ut melius quidquid erit pati, seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam, quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare Tyrrhenum: sapias, vina liques, et spatio brevi spem longam reseces. dum loquimur, fugerit invida aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.	11.1 11.2 11.3 11.4 11.5 11.6 11.7 11.8
