LIB. II. SIVE HIBERNIA LIBERATA. 101
Veliferi nutant mali sub vertice, qualis
Montanus lucus, palantia nubila lambens.
Tum sua CuchuIIin sic alta silentia rumpit. 515
Insula, qua non est tellus milii charior ulla,
Nunc nebulis emitte tuis in carbasa tlatus :
Millia quo mactes propera, dux maxime bello,
Morvenis 6 celsae rector, quem gloria cingit.
Me tua vela juvant, Phingal, rex optime regum, 320
Fulgor ut Eous ; classis, velut aureus alti
Vertice Sol fulgens coeli ; tu, sicut euntis
Maxima * flamma nigrae noctis, delata per orbem.
Qui struis ex animo convivia larga benigno,
Rebus in humanis nihil experieris amico 350
Dulcius insigni, Connal. Nox humida clivos
Obsidet; heu! quaenam torquet nunc aequora
Phingal ?
Quodve subit littus ? Tenebrae considere suadent,
Sidera dum coelo, Lunaeque refulserit orbis. 335
Irruit in sylvam ventus ; cum murmure manant
E saxis fluvii ; Cromlam petit imbrilDUs aether ;
Trans ruptas trepidant ardentia sidera nubes.
Multa putans, rauci sedit torrentis ad oram
Erineus ductor, nec non et Colgare Connal
Progenitus, Carrilque gravis labentibus annis. 340
* Luna.
