Sicut aquæ tremulum labris ubi lumen ahenis
Sole repercussum, aut radiantis imagine luna,
Omnia pervolitat late loca, jamque sub auras
Erigitur, summique ferit laqucaria tecti.

Virg. An. viii.
So water, trembling in a polislied 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.
