Petronius (PLM B XXXVIII)
Iam nunc algentes autumnus fecerat umbras
atque hiemem tepidis spectabat Phoebus habenis,
iam platanus iactare comas, iam coeperat uvas
adnumerare suas defecto palmite vitis:
ante oculos stabat quidquid promiserat annus.
Autumn had already brought its cool shadows,
Phoebus was looking toward winter with slackened reins;
already the plane tree had begun shedding leaves
and counting her grapes on withered vines:
All the year had promised was standing before our eyes.
