Whether shall I, at your command, pursue my ease, which can not be pleasing unless in your company? Or shall I endure this toil with such a courage, as becomes effeminate men to bear? I will bear it? While I am your companion, I shall be in less anxiety, which takes possession of the absent in a greater measure. Not only this, but every other war, shall be cheerfully embraced by me for the hope of your favor;[ and this,] not that my plows should labor, yoked to a greater number of mine own oxen; or that my cattle before the scorching dogstar should change the Calabrian for the Lucanian pastures: neither that my white countrybox should equal the Circaean walls of lofty Tusculum.	./cache/horace-works_104.txt	./txt/horace-works_104.txt
