Te propter nullos tellus tua postulat imbres,
arida nec pluvio supplicat herba Iovi.

Virgil
Omnia qua propter debent per inane quietum
aeque ponderibus non aequis concita ferri.Lucretius
Nullos esse deos, inane caelum
Adfirmat Segius: probatque, quod se
Factum, dum negat haec, videt beatum.Martial
Summum crede nefas animam praeferre pudori
et propter vitam vivendi perdere causas.Juvenal
O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norint
Agricolas, quibus ipsa, procul discordibus armis,
Fundit humo facilem victum justissima tellus!Virgil
