from Metamorphoses

    Now have I brought a woork too end which neither Joves fierce wrath,

    Nor swoord, nor fyre, nor freating age with all the force it hath

Are able to abolish quyght. Let comme that fatall howre

Which (saving of this brittle flesh) hath over mee no powre,

And at his pleasure make an end of myne uncerteyne tyme. 

Yit shall the better part of mee assured bee too clyme

Aloft above the starry skye. And all the world shall never

Be able for to quench my name. For looke how farre so ever

The Romane Empyre by the ryght of conquest shall extend,

So farre shall all folke reade this woork. And tyme without all end

(If Poets as by prophecie about the truth may ame)

My lyfe shall everlastingly bee lengthened still by fame. 

– Ovid (43 BC-AD 17), translated by Arthur Golding (1567)
