As long as thou hadst not a greater flame for any other, nor was Lydia below Chloe[ in thine affections], I Lydia, of distinguished fame, flourished more eminent than the Roman Ilia. The Thracian Chloe now commands me, skillful in sweet modulations, and a mistress of the lyre; for whom I would not dread to die, if the fates would spare her, my surviving soul. Calais, the son of the Thurian Ornitus, inflames me with a mutual fire; for whom I would twice endure to die, if the fates would spare my surviving youth. What if Chloe with her golden locks be shaken off, and the door again open to slighted Lydia. Though he is fairer than a star, thou of more levity than a cork, and more passionate than the blustering Adriatic; with thee I should love to live, with thee I would cheerfully die.	./cache/horace-works_67.txt	./txt/horace-works_67.txt
