LIB. IV. SIVE Hli^ERNIA LIBERATA. 141
Nube sub extrema visa est subsistere coram,
Exilesque hiscens tales efFundere voces.
Surge, age, tolle moras ; clilectumque eripe natum,
Ossianes, gladiis ; serva discrimine lethi 85
O nimium juvenem fretum furiahbus armis.
Lochhnidis certat saevis ad Lubaris undam,
Vahe sub angusta per molha prata fluentem.
Dixit ; et extemplo nubi se immiscuit atrae.
Mox rapui clypeum ; rapui thoraca rigentem, 90
Aptavique mihi ; passus hastile regebat.
Utque ibam, strepui gravibus circumdatus armis.
Carmina, queis solitus proceres efFerre vetustos,
Ore profundebam rauco. Vaga murmura sensit
Hostis, et efiugit trepidans ; tergumque secutus 95
Est Oscar. Vekiti multarum flumen aquarum,
Insonui, monitumque dedi, dixique : retorque
Gressum, Oscar, quamvis te patris dextra sequatur.
Nil secus ac jussus retro vestigia torquet :
Jamque propinquantis strepitum laetissimus hausi
Armisoni juvenis, coram qui taha fatur : 101
Quo me, da, genitor, revocas, ferrumque coerces,
Dum non Lochhnidas penitus discerpere detur ?
Hos praeter rivum, subhmi rupe volutum,
In me Follanumque ingens tuht impetus actos, 105
