   • C. Horātius Flaccus, Saturae 1.2.127-131:

     nec vereor, nē, dum futuō, vir rūre recurrat,
     jānua frangātur, lātret canis, undique magnō
     pulsa domus strepitū resonet, vēpallida lectō
     dēsiliat mulier, miseram sē conscia clāmet,
     crūribus haec metuat, dōtī dēprēnsa, egomet mī.

     Nor am I apprehensive, while I am in her company, lest her husband should return from the country; the door should be broken open; the dog should bark; the house, shaken, should resound on all sides with a great noise; the woman, pale with fear should bound away from me; lest the maid, conscious of guilt, should cry out, she is undone; lest she should be in apprehension for her limbs, the detected wife for her portion, I for myself;
