Come lieta appare la terra a chi nuota se Poseidone infranta gli abbia la nave urtata dal vento e dall'onde furiose, e pochi sfuggirono al mare nuota… - Homer
" "Come lieta appare la terra a chi nuota
se Poseidone infranta gli abbia la nave
urtata dal vento e dall'onde furiose, e pochi
sfuggirono al mare nuotando e toccaron la riva,
e molta e densa salsedine incrosta la pelle,
e scampati da morte a terra vengon allegri:
similmente apparve alla donna caro il marito.
