tlB. I. SIVE HIBERNIA LIBERATA. 77
Ceu centum centumqiie una, fornace recoctum,444
Brachia procudunt ferrum, flammasque rescludunt.
Hi quinam gemini*? queisnam frons induit atram
Bellandi studio nubem ? queis aereus ensis
Fulget, ut ardescens ignis super aequora ponti ?
It tumulis fremitus magno turbante tumultu, 449
Pendentesque tremunt scopuli, littusque resultat,
Anne ratum dives Suaren, Cuchullin et asper,
Erineus ductor, ductor, quem gloria fulcit ?
Hos totis acies animisque ocuHsque sequuntur
Heroas : coeloque ruit, bellantibus ollis,
Humida f nox ; dubiis victoria passibus errat. 455
Sub Cromla Dorglas, tumuHque cacumine,densis
Arboribus circum clauso, congessit opima
Corpora cervorum, primo quos mane juventus
Straverat, expatiata jugis lustrisque ferarum. 459
Jam centum juvenes flammarum pabula carpunt,
Convectantqueulnis ; igni bis quinque ministrant ;
Ordine quos ponant patulos de more treceni
Perquirunt lapides ; centumque in mille ferinam
Frusta secant ; late fumant convivia castris.
Interea surgit, longamque innisus in hastam, 465
Optimus ille virum ductor, Semonia proles,
* Nota, c. t d.
