"Horace, dalam suasana hati yang sombong, pernah berkata bahwa syairnya akan bertahan selama perawan-perawan muda terus naik ke Bukit Capitoline untuk beribadah di kuil Yupiter. Tetapi puisi Horace telah bertahan lebih lama dari agama Yupiter, dan Yupiter sendiri hanya bertahan karena ia menghilang ke dalam literatur."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Horace, in a particularly boastful mood, once said his verse would last as long as the vestal virgins kept going up the Capitoline Hill to worship at the temple of Jupiter. But Horace's poetry has lasted longer than Jupiter's religion, and Jupiter himself has only survived because he disappeared into literature.
