LIB. II. SIVE HIBERNIA LIBERATA. 91
Excipit hic Connal ; nec abest prudentia rerum.
Trajiciunt animae simulacraque luce carentum
Nubila vi magna ; mediis per inane videntur 85
Flaminibus, clivosque colunt, antrisque residunt ;
Otiaque ut peragunt, vario sermone fruuntur,
Expediuntque hominum casus et funera fando.
Nil moror, exclamat Cuchulhn : funera quaevis
Expediant fando ; praeter Cuchullina mittant. 90
Suarenis haud ferrum metuo, nec httore cedam.
Quod si summa dies et ineluctabile tempus
Institerint, ingens tumulus mihi surget ad undas
iEquoreas ; lacrymisque genas venator obortis
Imbuet ; aeternum dicent me carmine vates ; 95
Pectore sub memori noctesque diesque fovebit
Sponsa decore novo, niveas exserta mamillas.
Ponere non renuo vitam, convertere tergum
Nescio : quippe * acie clarum clarumque triumphis
Me vidit Phingal. Peragis qui rupibus aevum, 100
Fac modo te videam ; coelesti lampade vectus
Labere ; pande meum coram irreparabile fatum,
Attamen haud fugiam, venti per inane frementis
Accola. Quae geminas inter suspenditur hastas,
PercuteCabadisveterem,sate Colgare, parmam. 105
