Lac mihi non aestate novum, non frigore defit;
Canto quae solitus, si quando armenta vocabat,
Amphion Dircaeus in Actaeo Aracintho.

Nec sum adeo informis: nuper me in litore vidi,
Cum placidam ventis staret mare; non ego Daphnim
Judice te metuam, si numquam fallit imago. — ECL., II.
3. Consumptis hic forte aliis, ut vertere morsus
Exiguam in Cererem penuria adegit edendi
Et violare manu malisque audacibus orbem
Fatalis crusti patulis nec parcere quadris,
"Heus, etiam mensas consumimus!" inquit Iulus;
Nec plura adludens. Ea vox audita laborum
Prima tulit finem, primamque loquentis ab ore
Eripuit pater, ac stupefactus numine pressit.
