A quotation from Martial:

«««««
That in the Heavens no gods there be
Selius affirms, and proves, ’cause he
Still thinking so lives happily.
[Nullos esse deos, inane caelum
Adfirmat Segius: probatque, quod se
Factum, dum negat haec, videt beatum.]

A quotation from Dante Alighieri:

«««««
O endless wrath of God: how utterly
thou shouldst become a terror to all men
who read the frightful truths revealed to me!
[O vendetta di Dio, quanto tu dei
esser temuta da ciascun che legge
ciò che fu manifesto a li occhi mei!]
