Si vero, quoniam casus apibus quoque nostros vita tulit, tristi languebunt corpora morbo' quod iam non dubiis poteris cognoscere signis: continuo est aegris alius color; horrida vultum deformat macies; tum corpora luce carentum exportant tectis et tristia funera ducunt; aut illae pedibus conexae ad limina pendent, aut intus clausis cunctantur in aedibus omnes ignavaeque fame et contracto frigore pigrae.
