Gaius Valerius Catullus, 26 "To Furius: On Debt"

Catullus comments that Furius’ little house doesn’t have to worry about winds so much as debt.

 

Tier 1

Furi, tua villa parva non stat contra ventos Austri aut Favoni, nec saevi Boreae aut Apheliotae,

 

sed stat contra quindecim milia et ducentos passus.
