<strong>Aeneis</strong>/Liber XI 226<br />
et fundam tereti circum caput eg<strong>it</strong> habena<br />
Strymoniamque gruem aut album deiec<strong>it</strong> olorem. 580<br />
multae illam frustra Tyrrhena per oppida matres<br />

Tros Italusque, mihi par<strong>it</strong>er det sanguine poenas.<br />

inspoliata feram tumulo patriaeque reponam.'<br />
