Martial, de Spectaculis, Poem 26. Latin.

Lusit Nereidum docilis chorus aequore toto
et uario faciles ordine pinxit aquas.
Fuscina dente minax recto fuit, ancora curuo:
credidimus remum credidimusque ratem,
et gratum nautis sidus fulgere Laconum
lataque perspicuo uela tumere sinu.
Quis tantas liquidis artes inuenit in undis?
aut docuit lusus hos Thetis aut didicit.
