Met. 1. 1-4

1 In nova fert animus mutatas dicere formas

corpora; di, coeptis (nam vos mutastis et illas)

adspirate meis primaque ab origine mundi

ad mea perpetuum deducite tempora carmen!

Met. 1. 348-357

redditus orbis erat; quem postquam vidit inanem

et desolatas agere alta silentia terras,

350 Deucalion lacrimis ita Pyrrham adfatur obortis:

'o soror, o coniunx, o femina sola superstes,

quam commune mihi genus et patruelis origo,

deinde torus iunxit, nunc ipsa pericula iungunt.

terrarum, quascumque vident occasus et ortus,

355 nos duo turba sumus; possedit cetera pontus.

haec quoque adhuc vitae non est fiducia nostrae

certa satis; terrent etiam nunc nubila mentem.’

te sequerer, coniunx, et me quoque pontus haberet.’

dixerat, et flebant: placuit caeleste precari

numen et auxilium per sacras quaerere sortes.

nulla mora est: adeunt pariter Cephesidas undas,

370 ut nondum liquidas, sic iam vada nota secantes.

inde ubi libatos inroravere liquores

vestibus et capiti, flectunt vestigia sanctae

ad delubra deae, quorum fastigia turpi

pallebant musco stabantque sine ignibus arae.

mota dea est sortemque dedit: 'discedite templo

ossaque post tergum magnae iactate parentis!'

obstupuere diu: rumpitque silentia voce

385 Pyrrha prior iussisque deae parere recusat,

detque sibi veniam pavido rogat ore pavetque

laedere iactatis maternas ossibus umbras.

interea repetunt caecis obscura latebris

verba datae sortis secum inter seque volutant.

Met. 1. 390-397

390 inde Promethides placidis Epimethida dictis

mulcet et 'aut fallax' ait 'est sollertia nobis,

aut (pia sunt nullumque nefas oracula suadent!)

magna parens terra est: lapides in corpore terrae

ossa reor dici; iacere hos post terga iubemur.'

spes tamen in dubio est: adeo caelestibus ambo

diffidunt monitis; sed quid temptare nocebit?

Met. 1. 403-408

mox ubi creverunt naturaque mitior illis

contigit, ut quaedam, sic non manifesta videri

405 forma potest hominis, sed uti de marmore coepta

non exacta satis rudibusque simillima signis,

quae tamen ex illis aliquo pars umida suco

et terrena fuit, versa est in corporis usum;

________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________

Met. 1. 409-415

quod solidum est flectique nequit, mutatur in ossa,

410 quae modo vena fuit, sub eodem nomine mansit,

inque brevi spatio superorum numine saxa

missa viri manibus faciem traxere virorum

et de femineo reparata est femina iactu.

415 et documenta damus qua simus origine nati.
