Terminus.
A pillar high, erected was of stone,
In former times, which TERMINVS they nam'd:
And was esteem'd, a God of every one:
The vpper part, was like a woman fram'd,
Of comely feature downe vnto the brest,
Of Marble hard a Pillar was the rest.

Which when IOVE passed by, with sterne aspect,
He bad this God remooue, and get him gone,
But TERMINVS as stoutly did neglect
His heste, and answer'd, I giue place to none:
I am the bound of thinges, which God aboue
Hath fixt, and none is able to remooue.
