The gods and their tranquil abodes appear, which no winds disturb, nor clouds bedew with showers, nor does the white snow, hardened by frost, annoy them; the heaven, always pure, is without clouds, and smiles with pleasant light diffused.

Apparet divom numen, sedesque quietæ;
Quas neque concutiunt ventei, nec nubila nimbeis.
Aspergunt, neque nix acri concreta pruina
Cana cadens violat; semper sine nubibus æther
Integer, et large diffuso lumine ridet.
