V

Ne tibi tune horrenda rapax ad litora

puppem ventus agat, ludo volitans cum

turma superbo pulvereis exultat equis ulu-

lataque tellus intremit etpugnas mota pater

incitat hasta.

Let not then the driving blast carry your

ship to those dreadful shores, what

time the troop in arrogant sport fly here

and there exultant on dusty steeds, and

the ground trembles to their halloing,

and their sire incites them to battle with

the brandished spear.

– Valerius Flaccus Argonautica, Book IV, 606-609
