| Sī Vĕnŭs | Āenē|ān grăvĭ|dā tĕmĕ|rāssĕt ĭn | ālvō, Cāesărĭ|būs tēl|lūs || ōrbă fŭ|tūră fŭ|īt. |
If Venus had been rash with Aeneas in her pregnant belly, the future would have been bereft of the Caesars. |
- βʹ Ovid, Heroides 6.61-2:
| quōd tămĕn | ē nō|bīs grăvĭ|dā cē|lātŭr ĭn | ālvō, vīvăt ĕt | ēiūs|dēm || sīmŭs ŭt|ērquĕ pă|rēns! |
Though that which is ours may now be hidden from us in your pregnant belly, may it live well and each of us be its parent! |
