LIB. III. SIVE HIBERNTA LIBERATA. 125
Golle, manu gladiiim ; celeres emitte sagittas,
Contendens arcmii, Fera ; Follane, trementem 330
Intorque summis adnixus viribus hastam.
Ite animis alacres : vestri per inane vagantes
Obductam referant clypei ferrugine Lunam ;
Vestraque tela hosti, mortis certissimus auctor,
Immineant;centumqueunuscertaminepraestet.335
Haec ubi dicta, ruunt centum ceu flamina vastas
Morvenis in sylvas, centum ceu flumina cUvis
Praecipitant, magnum veluti per inane vehuntur
Nubila, prout sese pelagus sub httora fundit,
Acres concurrere viri ; clamorque phalangum 340
Per campum resonat, resonat per summa jugorum
Culmina, ceii mediis tonitru nigrantibus umbris,
Cum supra Conam rupto cadit aethere nimbus,
Innumerique gemunt ventorum in flamine Manes.
Aequora per campi Phingal, vi concitus, ibat, 345
Sicut provehitur defunctus corpore Trenmor,
Turbine quum pkivio delatus Morvena visit
Progeniemque suam: subterdant murmuraquercus;
Labuntur scopuh ; radiantis fuhninis ignem
Antevolat praeceps heros, cursuque superbo 350
Transgreditur valles et culmina summa jugorum.
Segnior haud genitor, Phingal ; totamque cruore
