    Stronger than thunder's winged force
    All-powerful gold can speed its course;
    Through watchful guards its passage make,
    And loves through solid walls to break.

    Et perrumpere amat saxa potentius
    Ictu fulmineo.]

The cankered heaps of strange-achieved gold;
For this they have been thoughtful to invest
Their sons with arts and martial exercises.
