Festinata sui gemeret quod fata Severi
Silius, Ausonio non semel ore potens,
cum grege Pierio maestus Phoeboque querebar.
'Ipse meum flevi' dixit Apollo 'Linon':
respexitque suam quae stabat proxima fratri
Calliopen et ait: 'Tu quoque vulnus habes.
aspice Tarpeium Palatinumque Tonantem:
ausa nefas Lachesis laesit utrumque Iovem.
numina cum videas duris obnoxia fatis,
invidia possis exonerare deos.'
