consulti testor penetralia mundi et volucrum affatus et te, Thymbraee, vocanti non alias tam saeve mihi, quae signa futuri pertulerim: vidi ingentis portenta ruinae, vidi hominum divumque metus hilaremque Megaeram et Lachesin putri vacuantem saecula penso.
I call the secret places of the universe I questioned, and the speech of birds, and you, Lord of Thymbra, never before so harsh to my appeal, to witness what signs of futurity I endured. I saw portents of mighty downfall, I saw terrors of men and gods, and Megaera laughing and Lachesis voiding the generations with her rotting thread.
