V. 242-269. TEMORA. 103
Est inclinatio duaruni ai-borum super flumen ;
Illic stetit tacitus in moerore
Semen Duthnonis certaminum eximiorum ;
Sanguine se-effundente et circumdante ejus latus,
Ejus clypeo fisso et fracto super campo.
Ad rupem stabat ejus hasta magna.
Quare, o Dermid, ita tristis tuus hictus?
" Sum ego audiens asperum sonitum certaminis
Et meos amicos in planitie (solos) secum ipsis,
Meis passibus tardis super magno agro,
Et clypeo fracto in concertatione (inutili) sine usu.
An erit iUe semper sub victoria r *
Erit Dermid in sepulchro cum gloria,
Paulo antequam surgat obscuritas sursum.
Vocabo ego tete ad certamen,
Et occurram ego superbije Foldathi."
Prehendìt ille suam hastam cum gaudio fusco,
FiHo Mornas principe juxta ejus latus.
" Nate Duthnone, reprime tu tuam celeritatem ;
Sunt tui passus sine colore sub sanguine ;
Haud est tibi cieruleus umbo tui clypei;
Quare cadat princeps sine armis?"
" Semen Morns, mihi (trade) tuum clypeum ;
Sffipius inflexit iUe deorsum certamen :
Sistam ego ejus iter super campo.
Semen Mornffi, ecce saxum in planitie ;
Saxum, quod sustuiit ejus canum caput supra
Per gramen, quod sonat in vento :
* i. e. victor.
