Sicut aquæ tremulum labris ubi lumen ahenis
Sole reperceffum, aut radiantis imagine lunæ,,
Omnia pervolitat latè loca, jamque fub auras
Erigitur, fummique ferit laquearia tecti,

VIRG. En. VIII

So water trembling in a polish'd vase,
Reflects the beam that plays upon its face,
The sportive light, uncertain where it falls,
Now strikes the roof, now flashes on the walls.
