Translation:Odes (Horace)/Book I/11

by Horace

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
You should not ask, it is wrong to know, what end the gods will have given to me or to you, O Leuconoe, and do not try Babylonian calculations. How much better it is to endure whatever will be, whether Jupiter has allotted more winters or the last, which now weakens the Tyrrhenian Sea against opposing rocks: be wise. Strain your wines, and because of brief life cut short long-term hopes. While we are speaking, envious life will have fled: seize the day, trusting the future as little as possible.	Tū nē quaesierīs, scīre nefās, quem mihi, quem tibī fīnem dī dederint, Leuconoē, nec Babylōniōs temptāris numerōs. Ut melius quidquid erit patī, seu plūrīs hiemēs seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam, quae nunc oppositīs dēbilitat pūmicibus mare Tyrrhēnum: sapiās, vīna liquēs, et spatiō brevī spem longam resecēs. Dum loquimur, fūgerit invida aetās: carpe diem, quam minimum crēdula posterō.	11.1 11.2 11.3 11.4 11.5 11.6 11.7 11.8
