Fama, malum qua non aliud velocius ullum; Mobilitate viget, virisque adquirit eundo; Parva metu primo; mox sese attollit in auras, Ingrediturque solo, et caput inter nubila condit.

Fama, malum qua non aliud velocius ullum; Mobilitate viget, virisque adquirit eundo; Parva metu primo; mox sese attollit in auras, Ingrediturque solo, et caput inter nubila condit.
— Fame, the great ill, from small beginnings grows:Who can deceive a lover?
Swift from the first; and ev'ry moment brings
New vigor to her flights, new pinions to her wings.
Soon grows the pigmy to gigantic size;
Her feet on earth, her forehead in the skies.
— Lines 174–177 (translated by John Dryden).
