haec proprios nuper tutata est insula saltus, sive loci ingenio seu domini genio, gurgite cum modico victricibus obstitit armis tamquam longinquo dissociata mari: haec multos lacera suscepit ab urbe fugatos, hic fessis posito certa timore salus.

It welcomed many refugees from mangled Rome: here might the weary drop their fear and find sure safety.
