Horatius, Carmina 2.14
Horace, Ode 2.24

Eheu fugaces, Postume, Postume,
labuntur anni, nec pietas moram
rugis et instanti senectae afferet indomitaeque morti,
non si trecenis, quotquot eunt dies,
amice, places illacrimabilem
Plutona tauris, qui ter amplum Geryonen Tityonque tristi

compescit unda, scilicet omnibus,
quicumque terrae munere vescimur,
enaviganda, sive reges sive inopes erimus coloni.

Frustra cruento Marte carebimus
fractisque rauci fluctibus Hadriae,
frustra per autumnos nocentem corporibus metuemus Austrum:
visendus ater flumine languido
Cocytos errans, et Danai genus
infame, damnatusque longi Sisyphus Aeolides laboris.

Linquenda tellus et domus et placens
uxor, neque harum quas colis arborum
te praeter invisas cupressos ulla brevem dominum sequetur.

Absumet heres Caecuba dignior
servata centum clavibus, et mero
tinguet pavimentum superbo, pontificum potiore cenis.
