o tandem, vix tandem reddita Circe dura tuis, quae te biiugis serpentibus egit hinc fuga? quaeve fuit patriis mora gratior oris? ante et Thessalicae Phasin petiere carinae perque tot infelix frustra vada venit Iason, quam patriae te movit amor tum cetera rumpit occurritque Venus: tu nunc mihi causa viarum sola: tuae venio iam pridem gnara iuventae; cetera parce queri neu me meliora secutam argue; quippe (ut iam reputentur munera divum) omnibus hunc potius communem animantibus orbem, communes et crede deos.
Circe! at last, scarce at last, cruel one! restored to thine own'why did the yoked snakes bear thee hence in flight? What sojourning was more pleasing to thee than my fathers land? The ship of Thessaly hath reached Phasis and hapless Jason hath come in vain through so many perils ere love of thine own land moved thee. Then Venus checks further speech and thus rejoins: Thou alone art the cause of this my journey; I come knowing long since thou art no longer a child; spare thy complaints, nor blame me who have chosen a better lot; nay (that now we may bear in mind heavens gifts), deem rather that this world is shared by all living souls, and shared too are the gods.
