——Dant utile lignum Navigiis Pinos, domibus Cedrosque, Cupressosque: Hinc radios trivere Rotis, hinc tympana plaustris Agricolæ, & pandas ratibus posuere carinas. Viminibus Salices fœcundæ, frondibus Ulmi; At Myrtus validis hastilibus, & bona bello, Cornus; Ityræos Taxi torquentur in arcus. Nec Tiliæ leves, aut torno rasile Buxum, Non formam accipiunt, ferroque cavantur acuto: Necnon & torrentum undam levis innatat Alnus Missa Pado: necnon & apes examina condunt Corticibusque cavis, vitiosæque Ilicis alveo. Virg. Georg. l. 2. carm. 442.
