Horace's immortal fame.

Text: NON OMNIS MORIAR
I shall not altogether die

Extract from Odaee. 3.30,6-9:
Non omnis moriar multaque pars mei
vitabit Libitinam: usque ego postera
crescam laude recens.

I shall nor altogether die, but a mighty part of me
shall escape the death-goddess. On and on shall I grow,
ever fresh with the glory of after time.
