Claudian, Volume 1. Platnauer, Maurice, editor. Harvard University Press: Cambridge, MA; London, England, 1922.
- intumuit rebus; sed mens circumflua luxu
- noverat intactum vitio servare rigorem.
- hic non divitias nigrantibus abdidit antris
- nec tenebris damnavit opes; sed largior imbre
- sueverat innumeras hominum ditare catervas.
- quippe velut denso currentia munera nimbo
- cernere semper erat, populis undare penates,
- adsiduos intrare inopes, remeare beatos.
- praeceps ilia manus fluvios superabat Hiberos
- aurea dona vomens (sic vix 1 tellure revulsa
- sollicitis fodiens miratur collibus aurum),
- quantum stagna Tagi rudibus stillantia venis
- effluxere decus, quanto pretiosa metalli
