80 PHINGALEIS, LIB. I.
Fulgentum vallant clypeum; vel Phallidis omnes
Primo ego congressu terras fluviosque capessam,
Exsuperans virtute meisque horrentibus hastis. 515
Dira, redux inquit Carril, canit omnia Suaren,
Asperior ponto, nec dictu affabilis ulh.
Dira* sibi rebusque suis, Semone creatus
Addidit, ille canat. Dulcem sub sidera vocem
Tolle, senex : lapsi tacitum dic temporis aevum. 520
Cantus agat noctem ; praestet sua gaudia luctus ;
Nam celebri virtute viros, formaque puellas,
Pinibus alma suis plures tuHt insula Phallis ;
Demulcentque animos dicunt quae carmina fortes
Albinis heroas, siquando cessat abactum 525
Venandi late studium, saltusque silescunt,
Ossianesque canit, montanaque culmina tractim
Responsant, queruhs Conae sahentibus undis.
Tum Carril, dicto parens, ita farier infit.
Littore Hyperboreo, priscis labentibus annis, 530
Copia magna virum viridantis ad Ulhnisf oras,
Fluctibus insultans, devenit mille carinis.
Nuncia fama ruit ; jamjam se fervida movit
Phallensis pubes ; liostihbus obvius armis
It Carber, Crimorque virum pulcherrimus unus.
