Occasionally, here in Norwich, I'm in touch with a local poet called Ron Nevett, who writes exclusively about our city and its history. He always rhymes, and today he sent me this free translation of one of Horace's Odes. So, for Norwich fans and Horace fans -- a niche audience, I know -- here it is
