Denique tantopere inter se cum maxima mundi pugnent membra, pio nequaquam concita bello, nonne vides aliquam longi certaminis ollis posse dari finem? vel cum sol et vapor omnis omnibus epotis umoribus exsuperarint; quod facere intendunt, neque adhuc conata patrantur: tantum suppeditant amnes ultraque minantur omnia diluviare ex alto gurgite ponti' nequiquam, quoniam verrentes aequora venti deminuunt radiisque retexens aetherius sol, et siccare prius confidunt omnia posse quam liquor incepti possit contingere finem.
Again, since the greatest members of the world fight so hard together, stirred by most un-righteous war, do you not see that some end may be given to their long strife? Either when sun and all heat shall prevail, having drunk up all the waters; which they are striving to do, but so far they are unable to accomplish the attempt: so plentiful a supply do the rivers bring up, and further threaten to deluge the whole from the deep gulf of the sea'all in vain, since the winds sweeping the surface of the waters diminish them, as does the ethereal sun unravelling them by his rays, and these are confident that they can dry up all before the water can attain the end of its endeavour.
