Pauperis hic Iri requiesco Lyciscus, herilis, Dum vixi, tutela vigil columenque senectæ, Dux cæco fidus: nec, me ducente, solebat, Prætenso hinc atque hinc baculo, per iniqua locorum Incertam explorare viam; sed fila secutus, Quæ dubios regerent passûs, vestigia tuta Fixit inoffenso gressu; gelidumque sedile In nudo nactus saxo, qua prætereuntium Unda frequens confluxit, ibi miserisque tenebras Lamentis, noctemque oculis ploravit obortam.
