| | Horace, Ode 3.18 |
 | | Synopsis (by C.H. Moore): "A hymn to Faunus as protector of the flocks and herds. |
 | | Faunus, who after Nymphs dost range, Through my precincts, and fruitful Graunge Pass gently, and propitious be To flocks, and me. A tender Kid the year shall end, Full cups of liquor (Venus friend) We'l pay; Fumes shall on Altars flie In odours high. |
 | | Faunus, thou lover of coy nymphs who fly thee, Enter my bounds, and fields that slope to sunlight; Enter them gently; and depart, proptitious To my young weanlings, If tender kid, when the year rounds, be offered; If to the bowl, Venus's boon companion, Fail not libation due! |
