| The Argo seen by a Shepherd who has never seen a Ship |
| | | L. Accius |

| |
| TANTA moles labitur | |
| fremibunda ex alto ingenti sonitu et spiritu. | |
| prae se undas uoluit, uertics ui suscitat: | |
| ruit prolapsa, pelagus respargit reflat. | |
| ita dum interruptum credas nimbum uoluier, | 5 |
| dum quod sublime uentis expulsum rapi | |
| saxum aut procllis, uel globosos turbines | |
| existere ictos undis concursantibus: | |
| nisi quas terrestris pontus strages conciet, | |
| aut forte Triton fuscina euertens specus | 10 |
| supter radices penitus undante in freto | |
| molem ex profundo saxeam ad caelum euehit. | |
