Additional quotes by Silius Italicus

Et deforme malum ac sceleri proclivis Egestas
Errorque infido gressu, et Discordia gaudens
permiscere fretum caelo.

Non umquam spem ponit amor.

...ceu tigride cerva
Hyrcana cum pressa tremit, vel territa pennas
colligit accipitrem cernens in nube columba,
aut dumis subit, albenti si sensit in aethra
librantem nisus aquilam, lepus.
