In eum qui truculentia suorum perierit.
On one who perished through the savagery of his own people.
Delphinem invitum me in littora compulit aestus,
Exemplum infido quanta pericla mari.
Nam si nec propriis Neptunus parcit alumnis,
Quis tutos homines navibus esse putet?[1]
I am a dolphin whom the tide drove ashore against my will, an example showing what great dangers there are in the treacherous sea. For if Neptune does not spare even his own nurslings, who can think that men are safe in ships?

Vis Amoris.
Love’s might
Aligerum fulmen fregit Deus aliger, igne
Dum demonstrat uti est fortior ignis Amor.[1]
The winged god has broken the winged thunderbolt, showing that there is a fire more powerful than fire - and that is Love.
1. This is a translation of Anthologia graeca 16.250.
