92 PHINGALEIS, LIB. It.
Nec mora, continuo, notae sublimi1)us armis,
Erineae surgant gentes, pugnaeque parent se ;
Jamque licet Phingal, nostrae spes magna salutis,
Necdum deveniat ventosa Morvene, certus
Instaurabo acies omni discrimine rerum, 110
Per Lenam longe sonitus lateque vagatur,
Ocyus et surgunt horrentes aere phalanges
Erineae, sicut cumulo praeruptus aquae mons,
Cum ruit Oceanus, Boreasque exasperat undas.
Immani stant mole heroes ; telaque quassant, 115
Brachia ceu quercus annoso robore, cum fors
Bacchatur glaciahs hyems, et frigore frondes
Exustae crepitant, ventoque hinc inde vehuntur.
Nubila canuerant ; tremuit super aequora ponti
Clara dies ; nabat nebulae sed caerula moles 121
Erigenas* circum, totumque obtexerat agmen.
Surgite, Lochlinidae ; mea jussa capessite raptim,
Matutinus ait Suaren. Formidine capti,
Erigenae cessere loco : Cormacis ad arcem
Te fer, Morla levis ; dic se, dic omnia victus 125
Ille mihi dedat, populum ne cuspide laesum
Excipiat miserum tumulus, perque Erinis oras
Viribus absumptis hiscat vox nuncia cladis.
* Nota, F.
