He is perhaps best known for his "Odes" (23 BC and 13 BC), in which he adapted an ancient Greek style of lyric poetry to Roman culture and values. Among the most famous quotes from the Odes are: "carpe diem", and "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." This annotated edition contains a brief chronology of Roman history, and works by Horace including the "Odes", "Epodes", "Satires", "Epistles", and "Ars Poetica" and Index. **London Bookseller and Publisher ABELIS SWALLE [or, Abelum, Abel Swalle, or Swayle] (active 1678-1699) was located at the sign of the Unicorn in the active bookselling quarter of seventeenth century London near the west-end cemetery of St. Paul's churchyard. Others located in the immediate vicinity included the artist and engraver JOHN STURT (1658-1730), who produced the illustrated title page here. Swalle subsequently produced a number of other titles in English, and other British editions of Horace in English appeared as early as 1644, according to D. Wing.
