AT TOMIS, IN BESSARABIA, NEAR THE MOUTHS OF THE DANUBE
TRISTIA, Book III., Elegy X
Should any one there in Rome remember Ovid the exile,
  And, without me, my name still in the city survive;
Tell him that under stars which never set in the ocean
  I am existing still, here in a barbarous land.
Fierce Sarmatians encompass me round, and the Bessi and Getae;
  Names how unworthy to be sung by a genius like mine!
Yet when the air is warm, intervening Ister defends us:
  He, as he flows, repels inroads of war with his waves.
But when the dismal winter reveals its hideous aspect,
  When all the earth becomes white with a marble-like frost;
And when Boreas is loosed, and the snow hurled under Arcturus,
  Then these nations, in sooth, shudder and shiver with cold.
Deep lies the snow, and neither the sun nor the rain can dissolve it;
  Boreas hardens it still, makes it forever remain.
Hence, ere the first ha-s melted away, another succeeds it,
  And two years it is wont, in many places, to lie.
