Id enim in stellae speciem figuratum, decurrit quidem, dum viribus ignium sustentatur: amplitudine vero spatiorum exinanitum in aerium solvitur corpus, ad substantiam migrans, cuius attritu incaluit nimio.
For this takes the form of a star, and falls downward, so long as it is sustained by the strength of the fire; but, exhausted by the greatness of the space which it traverses, it loses itself in the air, passing back into the substance whose friction gave it all that heat.
