Quanto verius de diis vestris animalia muta naturaliter iudicant! Mures, hirundines, milvi non sentire eos sciunt: rodunt, inculcant, insident, ac nisi abigatis, in ipso dei vestri ore nidificant; araneae vero faciem eius intexunt et de ipso capite sua fila suspendunt.
How much truer the judgement which the dumb animals pass instinctively upon those gods of yours! Mice, swallows, kites know that they have no feeling; they gnaw them, perch and settle on them, and (unless you scare them) build in your gods own mouth; spiders spin webs across his face, and hang their threads from his head.
