  1. nec in astra lenta veniet ut Bacchus via:
  2. iter ruina quaeret et vacuo volet
  3. regnare mundo, robore experto tumet,
  4. et posse caelum viribus vinci suis
  5. didicit ferendo; subdidit mundo caput
  6. nec flexit umeros molis immensae labor
  7. meliusque collo sedit Herculeo polus.
  8. immota cervix sidera et caelum tulit
  9. et me prementem: quaerit ad superos viam.
