114 PHINGALEIS, LIB. III.
Phingaleum, plenis struxit convivia mensis.
Insidias veritus Phingal caecumque furorem
^re refulgebat ; positumque hastile prehendit.
Conticuere omnes deiixique ora tenebant
LochHnidae : cecidere animi ; formidine fugit 65
Impia turba virum, caedem mohta nefandam ;
Rursus et ingenti sonuerunt omnia plausu
Tecta domus, nervisque lyrae crepuere canoris.
Praelia cantarunt vates niveasque puellas,
Dehcias procerum, vates cum Phingahs, UlJin, 70
Qui Conae vahes cantu resonare docebat,
Laudibus ad coelum generatam Lochhne nympham
Extuht, ac magnum dominantem Morvene regem.
Hauserat'illa sonos; et, jam penetrale relmquens,
Constitit heroum coetu purissima, qualis, 75
Nubibus erumpens, super aequora Luna renidet.
Fulsit enim nivei radiis adoperta decoris
Undique ; composito* referebat carmina vatum
Incessu. Nympham Phingal veneratus honestam
Mohia de forti suspiria pectore fudit ; 80
Ipsaque caeruleos oculos demissa ferebat
Morvenis in regem canentis rupibus altis.
Tertia lux postquam clivos lustrarat aprorum
