Contra Tartareis Colchis spumare venenis
cunctaque Lethaei quassare silentia rami
perstat et adverso luctantia lumina cantu
obruit atque omnem linguaque manuque fatigat
vim Stygiam.

Additional quotes by Gaius Valerius Flaccus

Hic vero ingenti repetuntur pectora luctu,
ut socii sedere locis nullaeque leonis
exuviae tantique vacant vestigia transtri.
flet pius Aeacides, maerent Poeantia corda,
ingemit et dulci frater cum Castore Pollux.
omnis adhuc vocat Alciden fugiente carina,
omnis Hylan, medio pereunt iam nomina ponto.

Effluit imber
spumeus et magno puppem procul aequore vestit.

Illa volans tenui per concita saxa
luce fugit.
