Quintus Ennius (239–169? B.C.)
 
 
  POSTQVAM Discordia taetra
belli ferratos postes portasque refregit,
pellitur e medio sapientia, ui geritur res,
spernitur orator bonus, horridus miles amatur.
haut doctis dictis certantes nec maledictis        5
miscent inter sese inimicitiam agitantes,
non ex iure manum consertum, sed magis ferro
rem repetunt regnumque petunt, uadunt solida ui.
