Aeneadum genetrix, hominum divomque voluptas, 
alma Venus, caeli subter labentia signa 
quae mare navigerum, quae terras frugiferentis 
concelebras, per te quoniam genus omne animantum 
concipitur visitque exortum lumina solis: 
te, dea, te fugiunt venti, te nubila caeli 
adventumque tuum, tibi suavis daedala tellus 
summittit flores, tibi rident aequora ponti 
placatumque nitet diffuso lumine caelum  [...] 
Lucretius, De Rerum Natura [1:1-9]
