This book is a collection of odes. An ode is a lyric poem stemming from The Greek Antiquity ("ode" in Greek means "song"), "marked by formality and stateliness in tone and style, which makes it ceremonious" (Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory) and designed to celebrate distinguished people, nobles, special events, or private and personal feelings.
