carmina uel caelo possunt deducere lunam,Virgil, Ecl. VIII.69-71. My translation.
carminibus Circe socios mutauit Vluxi,
frigidus in pratia cantando rumpitur anguis.
Songs can pluck the moon down from the sky, through song Circe transformed the companions of Ulysses [into swine], and through singing, the snake, cool in the meadow, is burst asunder.
