Labitur infelix, manibusque excepta suorum
Fertur ad aequoreas, ac se prosternit, arenas,
Litoraque ipsa tenet, tandemque illata carinae est.
Non sic infelix patiam portusque reliquit
Hesperios, saevi premerent cum Caesaris arma.
Fida comes Magni vadit duce sola relicto,
Pompeiumque fugit. Quae nox sibi proxima venit,
Insomnis. Viduo tum primum frigida lecto
Atque insueta quies uni, nudumque marito
Non haerente latus. Somno quam saepe gravata
Deceptis vacuum manibus complexa cubile est,
Atque oblita fugae quaesivit nocte maritum
Nam, flamma quamvis tacitas urgente medullas,
Non iuvat in toto corpus iactare cubili:
Servatur pars illa tori. Caruisse timebat
Pompeio: sed non superi tam laeta parabant.
Instabat, miserae Magnum quae redderet hora.
