Sic et Averna loca alitibus summittere debent mortiferam vim, de terra quae surgit in auras, ut spatium caeli quadam de parte venenet, quo simul ac primum pennis delata sit ales, impediatur ibi caeco correpta veneno, ut cadat e regione loci, qua derigit aestus.
In this way also the Avernian places must send up to the birds the deadly power which rises from earth into the air, to poison some part of the space heaven; so that, as soon as the bird has winged its way thither, it may be caught by the unseen poison and checked there, and so may fall straight down to the place where the exhalation directs it.
