To virtue praise is offered,
But quicker far it melts than ice in spring.

— Livius Andronicus

Praestatur laus virtuti, sed multo ocius
verno gelu tabescit.

A hare—that's you; and yet you're hunting game!

Tell me, O Goddess of song, of the clever man, ...

When wicked Cyclops had my comrades munched, ...

Mirum videtur quod sit factum iam diu?

... for nothing
Wastes a man worse than cruel sea. The man
Whose strength is great—him will the savage waves
With all speed shatter.
