from Pharsalia
The causes first I purpose to unfould
Of these garboiles, whence springs a long discourse,
And what made madding people shake off peace.
The fates are envious, high seats quickly perish,
Under great burdens fals are ever greevous;
Roome was so great it could not beare it selfe:
So when this worlds compounded union breakes,
Time ends and to old Chaos all things turne;
Confused stars shal meete, celestiall fire
Fleete on the flouds, the earth shoulder the sea,
Affording it no shoare, and Phoebe's waine,
Chace Phoebus and inrag'd affect his place,
And strive to shine by day, and ful of strife
Disolve the engins of the broken world.
– Lucan (AD 39-65), translated by Christopher Marlowe (before 1593)
