Principio quantum caeli tegit impetus ingens, inde avidam partem montes silvaeque ferarum possedere, tenent rupes vastaeque paludes et mare quod late terrarum distinet oras, inde duas porro prope partis fervidus ardor adsiduusque geli casus mortalibus aufert.
In the first place, of all that the sky covers with its mighty expanse, a greedy part is possessed by mountains and forests full of wild beasts, part rocks and vasty marshes hold, and the sea that keeps the shores of lands far apart. Almost two parts of these lands are robbed from mortals by scorching heat, and constantly falling frost.
