Try for a starter Ode 1.5 translated by John Milton (pub. 1673)  which is short enough to simply repeat since I think the copyright has probably expired... 
What slender Youth bedew'd with liquid odours 
Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave, 
Pyrrha for whom bindst thou 
In wreaths thy golden Hair, 
Plain in thy neatness; O how oft shall he 
On Faith and changèd Gods complain: and Seas 
Rough with black winds and storms 
Unwonted shall admire: 

Who now enjoyes thee credulous, all Gold, 
Who alwayes vacant alwayes amiable 
Hopes thee; of flattering gales 
Unmindfull. Hapless they 

To whom thou untry'd seem'st fair. Me in my vow'd
 Picture the sacred wall declares t' have hung 
My dank and dropping weeds 
To the stern God of Sea.
