  1. retia vinctas tenuere feras,
  2. nulli laqueum rupere pedes:
  3. fertur plaustro praeda gementi;
  4. tum rostra canes sanguine multo-
  5. rubicunda gerunt repetitque casas
  6. rustica longo turba triumpho.
  7. en, diva, faves:
  8. signum arguti misere canes.
  9. vocor in silvas, hac, hac pergam
  10. qua via longum compensat iter.
Phaedra Nutrix
  1. O magna vasti Creta dominatrix freti,
  2. cuius per omne litus innumerae rates
  3. tenuere † pontum quicquid Assyria tenus
  4. tellure Nereus pervius rostris secat,
  5. cur me in penates obsidem invisos datam
  6. hostique nuptam degere aetatem in malis
  7. lacrimisque cogis? profugus en coniunx abest
  8. praestatque nuptae quam solet Theseus fidem,
  9. fortis per altas invii retro lacus
  10. vadit tenebras miles audacis proci,
