Prudentius

The Psychomachia by the Late Antique Latin poet Prudentius, from the early fifth century AD, is probably the first and most influential "pure" medieval allegory, the first in a long tradition of works as diverse as the Romance of the Rose, Everyman, and Piers Plowman.

“War rages, horrid war
Even in our bones; our double nature sounds
With armèd discord.”
Fervent bella horrida, fervent ossibus inclusa fremit et discordibus armis non simplex natura hominis.
