 The most famous poem of Ernest Dowson took its title and its heroine's name from a line of "Odes" , "Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regno Cynarae", as well as its motif of nostalgia for a former flame.Kipling wrote a famous parody of the "Odes", satirising their stylistic idiosyncrasies and especially the extraordinary syntax, but he also used Horace's Roman patriotism as a focus for British imperialism, as in the story "Regulus" in the school collection "Stalky & Co.", which he based on "Odes" .Wilfred Owen's famous poem, quoted above, incorporated Horatian text to question patriotism while ignoring the rules of Latin scansion.
