« All quotes from this author
 

At nos hinc alii sitientes ibimus Afros,
Pars Scythiam et rapidum cretae veniemus Oaxen,
Et penitus toto divisos orbe Britannos.
--
Hence some will seek out Afric's thirsty shores, Some Scythia, or Oaxes' rapid stream, Or Britain, that's from all the world shut off.
--
Book I, lines 64-66
--
Cf. John Dryden's translation: The rest among the Britons he confined; A race of men from all the world disjoined.
