Book VII · 51

With food and drinks and cunning magic arts Turning the channel's course to 'scape from death.¹⁴ The breeze which heaven has sent We must endure, and toil without complaining.

Again:

With meats and drinks and curious sorceries Side-track the stream, so be they may not die.

When a storm from the Gods beats down on our bark, At our oars then we needs must toil and complain not.
