62Nunc age, quo motu genitalia materiai
63corpora res varias gignant genitasque resolvant
64et qua vi facere id cogantur quaeque sit ollis
65reddita mobilitas magnum per inane meandi,
66expediam: tu te dictis praebere memento.
67nam certe non inter se stipata cohaeret
68materies, quoniam minui rem quamque videmus
69et quasi longinquo fluere omnia cernimus aevo
70ex oculisque vetustatem subducere nostris,
71cum tamen incolumis videatur summa manere
72propterea quia, quae decedunt corpora cuique,
73unde abeunt minuunt, quo venere augmine donant.
74illa senescere, at haec contra florescere cogunt,
75nec remorantur ibi. sic rerum summa novatur
76semper, et inter se mortales mutua vivunt.
