Useless

Publilius Syrus 640 (582 Meyer, 630 Bickford-Smith; tr. J. Wight Duff and Arnold M. Duff):
It's no good to seek an antidote for a thunderbolt.

remedium frustra est contra fulmen quaerere.

remedium F: remigium Gruter
frustra Gruter: fraus F: stultum Hartung
fulmen Bentley: flumen F
quaerere F: tendere Hartung
Written before the invention of the lightning rod.
