306Denique non lapides quoque vinci cernis ab aevo,
307non altas turris ruere et putrescere saxa,
308non delubra deum simulacraque fessa fatisci
309nec sanctum numen fati protollere finis
310posse neque adversus naturae foedera niti?
311denique non monimenta virum dilapsa videmus,
312non ruere avolsos silices a montibus altis
313nec validas aevi vires perferre patique
314finiti? neque enim caderent avolsa repente,
315ex infinito quae tempore pertolerassent
316omnia tormenta aetatis, privata fragore.
