“O quantum terræ, quantum cognoscere cœli

Permissum est! pelagus quantos aperimus in usus!

Nunc forsan grave reris opus; sed læta recurret

Cum ratis, et carum cum jam mihi reddet Iolcon;

Quis pudor heu! nostros tibi tune audire labores!

Quam referam visas tua per suspiria gentes!”

Valerius Flaccus.
