Tis neither agreeable to the gods, nor to me, that thou shouldest depart first, O Maecenas, thou grand ornament and pillar of my affairs. if an untimely blow hurry away thee, a part of my soul, why do I the other moiety remain, my value lost, nor any longer whole? I have by no means taken a false oath: we will go, we will go, whenever thou shalt lead the way, prepared to be fellowtravelers in the last journey. Me nor the breath of the fiery Chimaera, nor hundredhanded Gyges, were he to rise again, shall ever tear from thee: such is the will of powerful Justice, and of the Fates. Be thou mindful to pay the victims and the votive temple; I will sacrifice an humble lamb.	./cache/horace-works_55.txt	./txt/horace-works_55.txt
