Tollimur in coelum curvato gurgite, et iidem Subducta ad manes imos descendimus unda.
Now on a tow'ring arch of waves we rise,
Heav'd on the bounding billows, to the skies.
Then, as the roaring surge retreating fell,
We shoot down headlong to the depths of hell.
Lines 564–565 (translated by Christopher Pitt).
