Navita de ventis, de tauris narrat arator, Enumerat miles vulnera, pastor oves.
Absenti nemo non nocuisse velit.
Quod si deficiant vires, audacia certe Laus erit: in magnis et voluisse sat est.
Qua pote quisque, in ea conterat arte diem.
Semper in absentes felicior aestus amantes.
Cedite Romani scriptores, cedite Grai! Nescioquid maius nascitur Iliade.
There is something beyond the grave; death does not end all, and the pale ghost escapes from the vanquished pyre.
[N]eque assueto mutet amore torum.
Aut patrio qualis ponit vestigia ponto Mille Venus teneris cincta Cupidinibus.
Let each man have the wit to go his own way.
