XXVI. ad Furium
FVRI, uillula vestra non ad Austri
flatus opposita est
[Furius, your little estate is neither set to face the breeze of the southernly winds,]
neque ad Fauoni
[nor the westernly ones,]
nec saeui Boreae aut Apheliotae,
[nor the savage North Wind, or the Apheliota,]
uerum ad milia quindecim et ducentos.
[but in truth 215,000 ones.]
o uentum horribilem atque pestilentem!
[O, how deadly and horrible wind can be!]
