Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE91translations from Horaces <0besI, 4.THE chills of winter swiftly flee,Now welcome spring doth come oncemore.Dry keels are launched into the seaBy many a rope along the shore.No longer are the flocks contentTo stay within the sheltered fold Before no fire the rustic bentLooks out on meadows white and cold.Her moonlight dances Venus leads,And Nymphs with comely Graces sway,AVhile eager Vulcan stirs to deedsThe giant smiths without delay. <AATith myrtle wreathe your glistening brow,With blossoms from the wakning land.A sacrifice to Faunus now.If lamb or kid he may demand.Pale death smites with impartial handThe lowly hut, the royal hall,But, happy Sestius, lifes brief spanForbids a soaring hope to all.—Hazel J. Nelson.1,5.AVhat slender boy with perfumed locksOn a bed of roses fairNow courts you under an arch of rocks,O maid of the golden hair?Your golden hair for him you bindIn a knot of simple style But like all others he will findIt so for a little while.Alas, how often he w7ill w7eepFor the want of faithfulness,And for the love he thought to keepIn boundless happiness.I have escaped, and I am glad,From the trap that was set for me Like a shipwrecked mariner Ive madeMy gift to the god of the sea.-—May Zinck.1,14.O Ship, far out to seaNew waves are bearing thee!O change thy daring course,Hold fast the sheltering shores!Bereft of oars, thy side The waves thy yards deride Thy keel, thy shattered mast,By Africs stormy blastAlone can scarce withstandThe imperious seas command.Thy sails are almost gone,Thy gods, thou callst upon.Though noble Pontic pine,The prime of timbers thine,Yet boast of race and nameThe sailor counts all vain!A painted stern can saveNone from a watery grave.If thou wouldst neer be sportFor wind, turn sail for port!Of yore thy woe I shared,With thee all risk I dared For me, oh Ship of State,A yearning hope of late.Take heed of the breakers roarOn the shining rocky shore.Steer clear of the girdling seasAround the Cyclades.—Anna Cox.
