Horace has had an unexpected encounter with a wolf: it has run from him although it is a monster and he is unarmed. Horace puts this down to the upright life he leads and the honest love he feels for his mistress, Lalage. Hear the Latin and follow in English here. The lovely wolf photograph is by Gary Kramer of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
