We meet again, nemesis! I think I won this time, muah-ha-ha!
All kidding aside, gratias tibi ago Thetis for reassigning this translation.
Well, I must say Ode 3.13 is quite a pleasant poem, aside from the goats killing each other over mates. (It's not worth killing someone over!) I like the nice, pleasant rustic nature of this particular ode. All in all, it was lovely.
I like how Horace uses such a charming setting for his work. It's always nice when an author uses very familiar landscapes AND they aren't the usual settings like home life or anything.
My nemesis too! (Although I did just as poorly with the Cleopatra poem that we _did_ prepare before the quiz.) I also enjoy the fresh spin on a familiar setting, yet not _too_ familiar.
