To repeat the example we have already noticed in the first book, when asking Nero which part of heaven he is selecting for his abode, he prays him not to choose one far removed from the centre, lest his vast weight should disturb the balance of the universe! "Aetheris immensi partem si presseris unam Sentiet axis onus."
Ad confligendum venientibus undique poenis, Omnia cum belli trepido concussa tumultu Horrida contremuere sub altis aetheris auris; In dubioque fuit sub utrorum regna cadendum Omnibus humanis esset, terraque marique. Of which we wish we could give our readers a more adequate translation than that by Mr Creech
