Sol et Aquilo certant:
Quis est fortior?
Vires experiuntur in viatorem,
et palmam fert qui viatoris manticam excutit.
Boreas horrisono turbine viatorem invadit.
At viator, amictum duplicans, ambulat,
et non desistit.
Denique Sol nimbum paulatim evincit,
et totos emolitur radios!
Incipit viator aestuare, sudare, anhelare.
Tandem ambulare non potest.
Sub frondoso nemore residet,
et manticam obiicit.
Ita Soli victoria contingit.
