Nosque ubi primus equis Oriens adflavit anhelis
Illic sera rubens accendit lumina Vesper.

And when the Rising Sun has first breathed on us with its panting horses, over there the red Evening Star is lighting his late lamps.

Book I, lines 250-251

Variant translation: And when to us the sun with panting steeds Hastens at dawn, far off the star of eve There lights her glowing lamp.
