[Medea] looked toward the gates and found him still even as he went; and alas! as he departed still comelier seemed the stranger to the lovelorn girl: such shoulders, such frame doth he leave to her remembrance.

Additional quotes by Gaius Valerius Flaccus

Dixit et urgentis post saeva piacula fati
nescius extremum hoc armis innectere palmas
dat famulis.

At Iuno et summi virgo Iovis intima secum
consilia et varias sociabant pectore curas.

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