104 PHINGALEIS, LIB. II.
Tres lacrymosa dies egit ; quartaque sinistrae
Aptavit juvenis clypeum, contendere certus. 390
Aggrediamur, ait, Cuchullina, Degyl, ut optas :
Illius ast utinam telis abrumpere vitam
Hanc mihi contingat ! qui nam per saxa vagarer,
Impositumque olHpossem spectaresepulchrum?394

Horrebat, galeasque cavas clypeosque rigentes
Segnius attingens, belli simulacra ciebat.
Astal)at Degyl dictisque invadit amaris.

Malmoream solido superat qui robore rupem.
At juveni rubuere genae ; fusisque rigantur
Errantes oculi lacrymis : nec multa locutus, 404
Erige, ait, clypeum, Cuchullin ; pelle petentem
Ictibus haud meritis. Jam stat decernere ferro,
Quanquam animus tentasse horret,luctuquerefugit.
Ingemui, sicut ventus per rupis hiatum
Sibilat ; utque mihi ferus insurrexerat ensis,
Concidit heu belli fulmen ! sub culmine collis 410
Ferda jacet busto, miseranda morte peremptus.
Scilicet invisum me me victoria fugit,
