V. 186-213. TEMORA. 99
Haud erant pares vestri patres ipsorum
In contentione plagarum super campo.
Est mater Culmini in aulà,
Oculo ejus versùs ca;rulea plana rivorum ;
Est ferus ventus surgens à mari
Seobliquans et se trahens atrum
Circa formam et spectrum sui filii ;
Est ululatus canum in loco ipsorum,
Ejus clypeus sine usu in aulà in sanguine.
" Num cecidisti tu, niagne vir, qui eras strenuus
In certamine damnorum in lerne !"
Instar rufEe-(capre£e) sub sagittà secretò
Extensae deorsum circa rivulos suos ipsius ;
Cernet venator talum sine vi
Erit memoria ejus passuum in ejus pectore :
Hoc modo extenditur filius Culallinis
Sub oculis egregii-viri super clivo,
Extremo ejus cirrhorum in rivulo angusto,
Et sanguine erumpente super inclinationem ejus clypei.
Erat ejus manus in eo tempore super gladio sine damno,
Duro-telo quod defecit strenuum in periculo.
" Cecidisti tu," dixit Folan, atque ipso moesto,
" Priusquam audita est probè tua fama.
Prffifecit tuus pater exercitui te cum bello ;
Est ejus opinio quod audiet ille denuo
Tua facta accedentia ad suam aurem.
Est ille canus ad suos rivos ipsius ;
Est ejus ocuius versiìs JMolenam nimborum ;
Haud erant pares vestri patres ipsorum
In contentione plagarum super campo.
