Plutónis adminístrae,
Parcae tres:
Clotho, Láchesis, Átropos.
Illae
fatálem tenébant colum,
modo nigra
involútam lana,
modo alba,
ex eáque
filum ducébant,
quo recíso,
pereúndum erat.
Mortuórum ánimae,
ópera Charóntis transvéctae,
deducebántur a Mercúrio
ad iúdices
Aéacum, Minóem et Rhadamánthum:
qui,
expénsa singulórum vita,
probos
mittébant in Elýsium,
scelerátos
in Tártarum detrudébant.
