一段古罗马神话
Ultima proles est de duro ferro. Pudor fidesque fugiut. Subeunt fraudesque insidiaeque et amor habendi. Longo limite mensor signat humum. Effodiuntur opes, irritamenta malorum. Nocens ferrum ferroque nocentius aurum prodeunt. Prodit bellum, quod pugnat utroque. Vivitur ex rapto. Victa iacet petas. Virgo Astraea, ultima caelestum, relinquit terras.

The last race is made of unyielding iron. Decency and good faith go into exile. In their place come deception and plotting and a love of gain. A surveyor marks out the ground with a long boundary line. Riches (the incitements to evil) are dug up out of the ground. Hurtful iron and gold, more harmful than iron, come forth. War comes forth, which uses both of them to fight. People live on plunder. Piety lies vanquished. The maiden Astraea, the last of the heavenly ones, abandons the earth.
——–
最后一族（第四族）是硬铁造就的人类。（此时）羞耻感与诚信不复存在。取而代之的是欺诈、阴谋和占有欲。人们在大地上画出长长的边境线。宝藏被挖出，成为罪恶的诱因。有害的铁，和比铁更有害的黄金，出现了。战争开始，人们以铁和黄金为战，以抢掠为生。虔诚的信仰被打败了。纯洁的正义女神Astraea，天界的最后一位成员，离弃了大地。
