- αʹ Horace, Carmina 4.6:
| sēd pălām cāp|tīs grăvĭs, hēu | nĕfās, hēu! nēscĭōs fā|rī pŭĕrōs | Ăchīvīs ūrĕrēt flām|mīs, ĕtĭām | lătēntēm mātrĭs ĭn āl|vō |
But openly cruel to the captives—oh how dreadful, oh!—he would burn their infant boys with Greek fire, even the one lurking in its mother's womb. |
