158 CRITICAL DISSERTATION
Verborum tenaces vidi dissecare
Haud minutim pro hipis
Endili maris ensibus
Erat per hebdomadae spatmm
Quasi mulieres vinum apportarent
Rubefacte erant naves
Valde in strepitu armorum
Scissa eratlorica
In Scioldungorum prselio.
Pulcricommn vidi crepusculascere
Virginis amatorem circa matutinum
Et confabulationis amicum viduarum
Erat sicut calidum balneiun
Vinei vasis nympha portaret
Nos in Ilae freto
Antequam Orn rex caderet
Sanguineum clypeuni vidi rupUim
Hoc iavertit virorum vitam.
Egimus gladiorum ad CEedera
Ludum in LLndis insula
Cum regibus tribus
Paucipotuerunt inde la»tari
Cecidit multus in rictum ferarum
Accipiter dilaniavit camem cum lupo
Ut satur inde discederet
Hybemorum sanguis in oceanum
Copiose decidit per mactationis tempus.
Alte gladius mordebat clypeos
Tunc cum aurei colors
Hasta fricabat loricds
Yidere licuit in Onlugs insula
Per sfficula multum post
Ibi fuit ad gladiorum ludos
Reges processerunt
Rubicundum erat circa insulam
At volans Draco vulnerum.
Quid est viro forti morte certius
Etsi ipse in armorum nimbo
