78 PHINGALEIS, LIB. I.
Egregium, Phoenae cretum de sanguine, vatem,
Talibus alloquitur longaevum Carrila dictis.
Quid, venerande senex, luxu mihi coena paratur
Regifico, duris cum stet rex asper in armis 470
Littus ad Ulhneum, dapibusque accumbere laetus
Pinguibus haud valeat ? Saltu nam dissidet heros
Gormaleo, longeque suis modo turribus altis.
Ergo, age, nuncius i noster ; placideque locutus 474
Huc accerse ratum dominum. Dic httore cedat
^quoreo, coenaeque * velit succedere gentis,
Quae struit ex animo convivia larga benigno.
Ignavam, sylvae sub amico tegmine, noctem 478
Transigat : en ! Boreas gehda qui Lochhne prodit,
Littore bacchatur ; miscetur murmure pontus.
Hic curas relevet fidibus cantuque sonoro.
Mox abiit moUi Carril sermone disertus,
Et, ferrugineas cogentem in praeha parmas,
AfFatur regem, dictisque accersit amicis.
Continuo stratas aprorum desere pelles, 485
Maxime rex, servit cui sylvis obsita Lochhn :
Littore cede maris, lucumque accede silentem.
Obstrepit hic Boreas ; miscetur murmure pontus.
Caerideis ocuhs ductor, Semonius heros,
* Nota, c.
