‘Amnem, Troiugena, Cannam fuge, defuge Cannam’
 
Marcius (76 B.C. (?))
 
 
AMNEM, Troiugena, Cannam fuge, defuge Cannam:
neue alienigenae cogant te conserere unquam
in campo Diomedis manus. sed tu neque credes
ante mihi donec compleris sanguine campum
multaque milia caesorum tibi deferat amnis        5
in pontum ex gremio terrai frugiferai:
quaeque colunt terras pisces uolucresque feraeque
his fuat esca caro tua. Iuppiter haec mihi fatust.
