1048Principio nobis in cunctas undique partis
1049et latere ex utroque supra supterque per omne
1050nulla est finis; uti docui, res ipsaque per se
1051vociferatur, et elucet natura profundi.
1052nullo iam pacto veri simile esse putandumst,
1053undique cum vorsum spatium vacet infinitum
1054seminaque innumero numero summaque profunda
1055multimodis volitent aeterno percita motu,
1056hunc unum terrarum orbem caelumque creatum,
1057nil agere illa foris tot corpora materiai;
1058cum praesertim hic sit natura factus et ipsa
1059sponte sua forte offensando semina rerum
1060multimodis temere in cassum frustraque coacta
1061tandem coluerunt ea quae coniecta repente
1062magnarum rerum fierent exordia semper,
1063terrai maris et caeli generisque animantum.
