A Man at a Spring: Horace, Odes 1.1

The first poem in a new poetry book is of paramount importance. As the first that a reader — or browser — would see, it acted as a virtual preface by giving some indication of the content and style of the whole collection. While the initial poems in books of elegies and satires have often enough been examined for their ‘programmatic’ content, the function of the first of Horace's odes is less clear.
