#cantus et Lūnam dēdūcere temptat et faceret, sī nōn aera repulsa
sonent#, Tib. 1, 8, 21, _magic essays to draw Luna down and would
succeed if clashing brass should not resound_ (1560). #nē sī nāvigāre
quidem velim, ita gubernārem, ut somniāverim; praesēns enim poena sit#,
_Div._ 2, 122, _again, suppose I undertake to go sailing, I should not
lay my course as I may have dreamed; for the penalty would be swift_
(1560). #sī hodiē bella sint, quāle Etrūscum fuit, quāle Gallicum;
possētisne ferre Sextium cōnsulem esse?# L. 6, 40, 17, _suppose there be
wars to-day like the Etruscan and the Gallic wars: could you bear to see
Sextius consul_ (1565)?
