| SIC profectione laeti piscium lasciuiam | |
| intuemur, nec tuendi satietas capier potest. | |
| interea prope iam occidente sole inhorrescit mare, | |
| tenebrae conduplicantur noctisque et nimbum obcaecat nigror, | |
| flamma inter nuber coruscat, caelum tonitru contremit, | 5 |
| grando mixta imbri largifico subita praecipitans cadit, | |
| undique omnes uenti erumpunt, saeui existunt turbines, | |
| feruit aestu pelagus. | |
