ÁUREA prima sata est aetas, quae vindice nullo, sponte sua, sine lege fidem rectumque colebat. 90 poena metusque aberant, née verba
Seite 8 - renovatus ager gravidis canebat aristis : no flumina jam lactis, jam flumina nectaris ibant, flavaque de viridi stillabant ilice mella. sub Jove mundus erat, subiit argéntea proles, auro deterior, fulvo pretiosior aere. 115 Juppiter antiqui contraxit témpora veris, perqué hiemes aestusque et inaequales autumnos et breve ver spatiis exegit quattuor annum. turn primum siccis aër
Seite 20 - vox mea facta tua est ; utinam promissa liceret non dare ! confíteor, solum hoc tibi, nate, negarem : dissuadere licet. Non est tua tuta voluntas : magna petis, Phaëthon, et quae née viribus istis muñera conveniant, nee tarn puerilibus annis. 55 sors tua mortalis ; non est mortale, quod optas, plus etiam, quam quod superis contingere fas est, nescius affectas.
Seite 172 - habere Horam, propositae quae foret apta viae. Ter limen tetigi, ter sum revocatus, et ipse 55 Indulgens animo pes mihi tardus erat; Saepe Vale dicto rursus sum multa locutus, Saepe eadem mandata dedi, meque ipse fefelli, Respiciens oculis pignora cara meis. 60 Denique ' Quid propero? Scythia est, quo mittimur,' inquam ; ' Roma relinquenda est : utraque justa
Seite 167 - Pascitur in vivis Livor ; post fata quiescit, Cum suus ex mérito quemque tuetur honos. 40 Ergo etiam cum me supremus adederit ignis, Vivam, parsque mei multa superstes erit. 2. Elegy on a Parrot (ii. 6). TDSITTACUS, eois imitatrix ales ab Indis, •^ Occidit ! exsequias ite frequenter, aves. Ite, piae volucres, et plangite pectora pinnis, Et
Seite 66 - Frustra, Medea, repugnas : nescio quis deus obstat' ait, ' mirumque, nisi hoc est, aut aliquid certe simile huic, quod amare vocatur. nam cur jussa patris nimium mihi dura videntur? sunt quoque dura nimis. Cur, quem modo denique vidi, 15 ne pereat, timeo? quae tanti causa timoris? excute virgíneo conceptas pectore flammas, si
Seite 17 - aliquo pars húmida suco et terrena fuit, versa est in corporis usum : quod solidum est flectique nequit, mutatur in ossa ; quae modo vena fuit, sub eodem nomine mansit ; 410 inque brevi spatio superorum numine saxa missa viri manibus faciem traxere virorum, et de femineo reparata est femina jactu. inde
Seite 46 - salutant, auxiliumque domus servatoremque fatentur Cassiope Cepheusque pater. Resoluta catenis incedit virgo, pretiumque et causa laboris. Ipse manus hausta victrices abluit unda : 740 anguiferumque caput dura ne laedat arena, mollit humum foliis, natasque sub aequore virgas sternit, et imponit Phorcynidos ora Medusae, virga recens bibulaque etiamnum viva medulla vim rapuit monstri, tactuque induruit hujus, 745
