Ovidius, Remedia amoris 692.
I don't have any rest, as a rock that is beaten by waves on every side. [tr. J.H. Mozley, Loeb, p. 225.] |

[Vergilius?] Ieder die liefheeft, moet heen en weer golven op de gevaarlijke branding van zorgen en de arme vent krijgt dag
en nacht geen pauze, zoals een rotssteen aan alle kanten door de golven wordt gebeukt of een spar, ontsproten op de Alpentoppen
door de storm. |

[Vergilius?] Whoever loves, must be moved to and fro on all kinds of breakers of sorrows and the poor man is give no pause,
nor day, nor night, like a stone rock [repes TK rupes] is lashed by breakers from all sides or a fir-tree born on the Alpine
summits by the storm. |
