Cum grauis extremas Vestinus duceret horas
et iam per Stygias esset iturus aquas,
ultima uoluentis orauit pensa sorores,
ut traherent parua stamina pulla mora,
iam sibi defunctus caris dum uiuit amicis.
Mouerunt tetricas tam pia uota deas.
Tunc largas partitus opes a luce recessit,
seque mori post hoc credidit ille senem.
