TO ASTERIE Why, O Asterie, do you weep for Gyges, a youth of inviolable constancy, whom the kindly zephyrs will restore to you in the beginning of the Spring, enriched with a Bithynian cargo? Driven as far as Oricum by the southern winds, after[ the rising] of the Goat 's tempestuous constellation, he sleepless passes the cold nights in abundant weeping[ for you]; but the agent of his anxious landlady slyly tempts him by a thousand methods, informing him that[ his mistress], Chloe, is sighing for him, and burns with the same love that thou hast for him. Though no other person equally skillful to guide the steed, is conspicuous in the course, nor does any one with equal swiftness swim down the Etrurian stream, yet secure your house at the very approach of night, nor look down into the streets at the sound of the doleful pipe; and remain inflexible toward him, though he often upbraid thee with cruelty.	./cache/horace-works_65.txt	./txt/horace-works_65.txt
