PHINGALEIS, UB. I.
Arte polita, praeit temo ; nitet ossea sedes,
Adveliit ac clypeos ensesque hastasque virosque.
Cernitur ad dextram, generoso sanguine fervens,
Fuscusequus,tergoque nitens, Sifaddaque dictus 336
Erigenis. Fremitille ;jubamquesubaetlieraquassat»
Arduus ostentans pectus ; passuque superbit,
Insultatque solo : pulsu gemit excita tellus.
Funditur huc illuc summo coma vertice, ceu quae
Palantur nebulae deserta per alta ferarum. 341
Parte sub adversa cervicem torquet in arcum
Dusronnal ; repletque ferox hinnitibus auras.
Huic tenuis juba, vivida vis est, ungula fortis,
Pes alacer, nasus macuhs insignis et albo. 345
Montibus in patriis generatos, aetheris aura
Purior hos intus miris agit ignibus ambo.
Ardua radit iter centumque coercita vinchs
Haec nova bigarum facies, nova machina belh.
Ore citatorum spumantia fraena relucent 350
Quadrupedum ; luduntque alte per colla per armos
Gemmea lora. Ruunt bijugi per aperta locorum,
Concita ilammibus vekiti secat aethera nubes :
Nam cervi feritas, aquilaeque est impetus ilhs
Praecipitans ; cursuquefremunt,velut horrida grando
Gormalis in clivis crepitat sub frigora Brumae, 356
