One work by this poet sees a shipwrecked sailor address the tomb of a king which he has landed near, while another sees the poet curse a tree and the hand which planted it after it nearly falls on him. He called his first two books of poetry Sermones and he was responsible for a poem meant to be sung by a chorus of young children dedicating the Secular Games, the Carmen Saeculare. One of the most famous works by this poet was originally composed as a letter to the Pisos and introduced the phrase "in medias res." He wrote four books of Odes and the Ars Poetica. For 10 points, name this Latin poet, originator of the quotes "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" and "carpe diem."
