tetrastichon.
Quae Strophadum volucres[1] tenuerunt littora tantum,
Et quae Teucrorum[2] diripuere dapes:
Nunc passim volitant, & totum diripit orbem
Haec hominum rabies, pestis & ira Deùm.
The birds of the Strophades who held such an extent of shore, and who robbed the Trojans of their feast, now fly everywhere, and rob the whole earth: this madness of men, this plague and divine anger.
quatrain..
Au temps passé ne voloyent les Harpyies
Fort qu’en une isle infecte & trop immonde,
Mais en tous lieux elles vont aux espies,
Et de present volent par tout le monde.
