Página 158 - Caerulea glacie concretae atque imbribus atris ; Has inter mediamque duae mortalibus aegris Munere concessae divum ; et via secta per ambas, Obliquus qua se signorum verteret ordo. Mundus, ut ad Scythiam Rhipaeasque arduus arces 240 Consurgit, premitur Libyae devexus in austros. Hie vertex nobis semper sublimis ; at ilium Sub pedibus Styx atra videt manesque profundi.
