64 PHINGALEIS, LIB. I.
Tempestas sine more ruat. Me turbinis ira,
Finibus a patriis raptum, detrudat ad umbras,
Si rufos premerem cervos tam pectore laetus, 155
Quam casus ineo belli, quam praelia tento.
Non ego, Mathaide juvenis, certamina fugi,
Respondet facilis Connal : comitatus amicos,
Hoc caput objeci circum volitantibus hastis.
Nec tamen arripui famam ; victoria cessit 160
Clara mihi, comitum cessit consortibus armis.
Quo tua te virtus, laudis quo gloria ducet,
Ibis, CuchuIIin. Jam vero respice regem
Imbellem, puerum primis florentibus annis.
Te penes imperium Cormacis * vertitur ; in te 165
Illius inclinata domus, soliumque recumbit.
Suarena muneribus cumula ; pete foedera pacis,
Dum veniat Phingal, lectosque ex Albine ducat
Heroas secum, genus intractabile bello.
Si sedet ast animo validis contendere telis, 170
Nil renuo : tecum stat casus ire per omnes ;
Sepositumque diu gladium, pilumque retracto.
Haec ubi dicta dedit Connal, mox talia ductor
Addidit Erineus, certus decernere ferro.
Me juvat armorum crepitus, fortesque labores, 175
