100 PHINGALEIS, LIB. H.
Eminet, ut miris orbem velata tenebris
Luna, superba soror stellarum, cedit ab ortu,
Sollicitatque novis mortalia pectora curis.
Hac Sifadda ferox, illac Dusronnal anhelat,
Exsuperans acclive solum : nam Lochlinis urgent
Agmina, ceu fluctus balenam pone seqmmtur. 296
Erigenae Cromla, celsam tollente sub aethram
Culmina, se sistunt : referunt nemus ignibus ustum,
Quos noctis turbo, bacchatus colhbus altis,
Sparsit atrox ; non jam zephyris motantibus ullae 300
Dulce sonant frondes ; non jam sub lummis auras
Sese subjiciunt rami. Vix unus, et alter
Hinc atque hinc, immani dissitus intervallo,
Assurgit stipes, flammaque nigrescit adesus.
Dux Semoniades patulae sub tegmine quercus 305
Conticet ; atque olh fundunt vaga flamina crinem.
Phyttihs hic autemgnatus, vir cursibus acer,
Postubi prospectum maris exploraverat omnem,
Afiuit, ac dictis coram nova gaudia miscet.
Classis, * io classis ! Phingalque, asperrimus heros, 310
Agmina in arma vocans, et scuta ingentia frangens,
Advenit : Albineae findunt vada caerula naves ;
