Diffugere nives, redeunt iam gramina campis

arboribusque comae;

mutat terra vices, et descrescentia ripas

flumina praetereunt. . . .

Damna tamen celers reparant caelestia lunae:

Nos ubi decidimus

Quo pater Aeneas, quo Tullus dives et Ancus,

Pulvis et umbra sumus. (Carm. 4.7.1–5, 12–16)

The snows have fled, now grass returns to the fields and leaves to the trees, earth alters its circumstances, and the waning streams pass within their banks.

Yet the swiftly changing moons repair their losses in the sky. We, when we descended whither righteous Aeneas, whither rich Tullus and Ancus have gone, are but dust and shadow.
