Ἠγέρθη ποθ’ ὕραξ, ἀνέβη δ’ εἰς ὡρολογητήν‧
Κώδωνος φθογγὸν δεινὸν κατέφευγε φοβηθείς.
Λήγετε Δικκορικᾶς μοῖσαι ἴτε λήγετ’ ἀοιδᾶς.
[ THOMÆ QUADRIJUGÆ.]
Tom’s coach and six, whither in such haste going?
But a short journey, to his own undoing.
Quadrijugis Thomas quo nunc se proripit ille?
Abiit in celerem—brevis est via, nota—ruinam.
