These words also appear in a fragmentary poem attributed to Petronius.Statius
Accessi confinium mortis et calcato Proserpinae limine per omnia vectus elementa remeavi, nocte media vidi solem candido coruscantem lumine, deos inferos et deos superos accessi coram et adoravi de proximo.
Apuleius
I that in heill wes and gladness,
Am trublit now with gret seiknes,
And feblit with infermité;
Timor mortis conturbat me.
Our plesance heir is all vane glory,
This fals warld is bot transitory,
The flesche is brukle, the Fend is sle;
Timor mortis conturbat me.William Dunbar
Inopem me copia fecit.
Ovid
Cui prodest scelus, is fecit.
Seneca the Younger
Deos fortioribus adesse.
