144 PHINGALEIS, LIB. IV.
Regis ad imperium, magna ter voce vocantis.
Quippe alacres una senserunt pectore motus, 155
Cum ducis excelsi telisque insignis acutis
Excepere sonos. Illum nam in bella sequentes
Devenere domum fama spoliisque superbi.
Phingalidae lecti, mediis quos Selma procellis
Edidit, ad pugnas et funera mille virorum 160
Ite, inquit ; tumuloque sedens, ego praelia belli
Despiciam ; telumque meum vos pone sequetur,
Si quid vestra salus poscat, vel casvis iniquus.
At, prout ipse reor, nullum quaeretur in usum,
Dum stet Morniades, loricamque aptet alienam
Forti bellator dextra, ductorque phalangum, 166
Omnia carminibus vatum per saecla canendus.
Vos, almi proceres, defuncti corpore dudum,
Quique inter nebulas hquidis equitatis in auris,
Examines quicunque ruent certamine, nostros 170
Excipite heroas, celsamque adducite Cromlam ;
Inde per aequoreos patrio vos, flamina, fluctus
Convectate solo. Mentem per somnia visi,
Obsideant, oro, molH quum pace quicscam.
I, Follane ; puer fuscis i crinibus, Oscar ; 175
Nobihs i juvenis, loricam indute rigentem,
Koena. Novum vobis ghscat sub pectore robur.
