Vergilius, Aeneis 4, 72 and 73
Vluchtend doorkruist de hinde Dicte's ravijnen en bossen. Tevergeefs want in haar zijde hangt het doodbrengend riet. [Vert.
M.A. Schwartz, Haarlem 1969, p. 59] |

Vergilius, Aeneis 4, 72 and 73
The hind in flight ranges the Dictaean woods and glades, in vain, for fast to her side clings the deadly shaft. [cf. tr. H.
Rushton Flairclough, Loeb, p. 401] |

Propertius, Elegiae 2, 30, 1-4
Waarheen wil je vluchten, malloot? Voor vluchten zijn er geen wegen of je al wijkt tot de Don, Amor komt achter je aan. Word
je ook door het heelal op Pegasus' rug voortgedreven, vleugels als aan Perseus' voet schieten voor vluchten te kort.
[Vgl. vert. W.A.M. Peters, Baarn 1991, p. 77]. |

Propertius, Elegiae 2, 30, 1-4
Where do you fly, mad heart? There is no escape. Fly as far as Tanais, love will hunt you down. You will not escape, though
you are borne aloft on the back of Pegasus, nor though the pinions of Perseus wing your feet. |
