1.1
Horace is dedicating his book to Maecenas, the person who funds his writings. Horace writes odes to him saying that he is like an Olympian champion and says that he would nothing without Maecena's support.
1.5
Horace is talking about a beautiful woman named Pyrrah who tends to seduce men into falling in love with her and then she breaks their heart. Horace sees this though, whether it be by his own experience with her or from hearing from other men, and he says that he stands clear of her because of it.
1.11
Horace is telling his lover Leucone that although their love is contested by many, that their love for each other is too numerous to count. He says at the end to not think about tomorrow but to live in the moment.
1.37
Horace completely trashes Cleopatra as he calls her the tyrant queen who prostitutes herself. He then goes on to say she sacrificed herself for her kingdom unlike any ruler would do for their country.
The most successful one is 1.11, as it has the best message and perhaps is the most famous of all the poems in Carmina. Horace tells his lover Leucone that although their love is contested by many, that their love for each other is too numerous to count. He says at the end to not think about tomorrow but to live in the moment. He compares there love to the Babylonian numbers, and he also says that their love has the same strength as the winds over the Tyrrehne sea. His last part about seizing today and letting tomorrow be is very much a suspenseful part of the poem as he finally answers the question as to handle the people's reaction to their love. Symbols used in this were the wind to represent the strength of their love, the Babylonian which represents the unending of their love, and the wine to show a celebration of their love. He refers to the Tyrrehne sea which has proved to be a very rough sea through the losses of the Roman navy and he also refers to Jove the goddess of love. Horace writes this in the view of how the people view him and how he wishes to live free from criticism and just live in the moment as he says in the last line of the poem.
The one that I don't really think was the best was 1.5 because it was hard to tell what Horace was writing about as he was not to specific enough to tell what was really going on. From what I can tell Horace is talking about a beautiful woman named Pyrrah who tends to seduce men into falling in love with her and then she breaks their heart. Horace sees this though, whether it be by his own experience with her or from hearing from other men, and he says that he stands clear of her because of it. He uses the roses in the shade to show how she is a dark temptress, and also the golden smile to draw in the unsuspecting men. The parallels in the poem are grottos shade and the black sea, and the deceitful smile with the deceitful wind and the the eyes that dazzle like a cloud. the symbols in it are the black sea and the shade which show that she is dark and the bright smile to show that she is pretty. The Black Sea is very rough as Horace mentions that the girl is and many people have lost their lives on it just as many men have lost their love in the girl. Horace does not like the girl because one might suspect she used him.
