"E há mais: ao termo da jornada, quando / a frota repousar além dos mares / e já na praia ante os altares os teus votos / fores cumprir, com purpurino manto / cobre a cabeça, para que, durante o culto, / figura hostil nenhuma possa, sendo vista / entre os lumes rituais, perturbar os presságios."

"Nay, when thy vessels, ranged upon her shore, / rest from the deep, and on the beach ye light / the votive altars, and the gods adore, / veil then thy locks, with purple hood bedight, / and shroud thy visage from a foeman's sight, / lest hostile presence, 'mid the flames divine, / break in, and mar the omen and the rite."
