V. 3£6-353. TEMORA. 71
Aut cogitationis sub alis qu£e sunt nudfe,
Transeuntis ultrà per pectus.
An labetur Cathmor ipse citò
Atrè-conditus sine colore in domo angustà,
In qua non orietur aurora ab undà,
Ejus oculis semi-apertis ipsàque crudà?
E nieo conspectu, o spectrum sine vi,
Pertinet certamen regum ad nie ipsum :
E meo conspectu omnis cogitatio praster conflictum
Sicut aquila saltuum à monte
Ibo ego prorsùm super campum
Ad rapiendum coruscameu haud vanum famse.
In convalle secretà rivorum tardorum
Manet aninius haud egregius sub vapore ;
Venient anni et tempora huc ;
Erit ille semper sub pulverulenta-caligine ;
In flamine sub nebulis veniet mors
Mittens ejus canum caput super humum sine fama:
Est ejus spectrum in umbra saxetorum
Circumiens et natans circa paludosum-pratum ;
Non erit ejus iter super monte coelorum,
Nec in valUbus in quibus est validus ventus.
Haud ita ibis tu, Cathmor, deorsum ;
Haud tirunculus* sine pretio tu in campo,
Qui notat lectos rufarum-caprearum
Super coUibus frigidis sonituum altorum.
Ictùs-instar-irrui ego prorsùm in mediis regibus,
Meà laetitià in saltu larvarum,
* i. e. rudis heios.
