Chapter XXIV: Book III: ODE XVII. To Aelius Lamia

Brave Aelius, sprung from an heroic line,
Whose pedigree in long descents do shine,
That add'st new glories to the Lamian name,
And rear'st fresh trophies to their fame!
Descended from Prince Lamus, whose command
Reach from the Formian walls, o'er sea and land;
Well was he known our ancestors among,
Where gentle Liris slides along.
Great as thou art, time will not thee obey:
To-morrow's like to be a blust'ring day, 10
Some tempest too is threat'ned from the east,
As by th' unlucky crow I guess'd:
'Tis dry to-day! Now lay thy fuel in,
Ere the unwelcome season do begin,
Good victuals get, and frolic friends together,
Armour of proof against ill weather.

[xvii. 2 'Do shine' is probably a misprint, due to the
contiguous s's, for 'does' or 'do's shine'. So below in l. 6,
'reach' should probably be 'reach_t_' An apparent but not
real false concord between plural nouns and singular verb was
common in the seventeenth century.]
