V. 354-381. TEMORA. 185
Ubi respondebat sylva undìe :
Erat spumosum ibi flumen
E rupe Duthamte (cavernosEe) cavernarum,
In quibus coruscabant larvce haud vivx
Cum suis formis mutabilibus ipsarum.
Venit somnium ad Lerthonem navium,
Septem simulacra cx lineis haud vivis ;
Audiebatur eorum vox rupta (moesta) gravis.
Cernebatur eorum semen in nebulà,
Cernebatur semen Athse (bellicosie) aculeorum,
Et eoruni proles, (duces) capita-itineiis Belgarum :
EfFuderunt illi suas copias ipsorum,
Ut nebulam descendentem è monte,
Quando it illa cana sub flamine
Super Atham multarum sylvularum.
Erexit Lerthon domicilium Samlee
Ad blandum modulamen citharEe chordarum.
Declinavit-se caprea lernes ab ejus passibus
Ad colles glaucos fluentorum.
Nec est oblivio illi Lumon viridis,
Nec Flathal (xiuxoj^fip) candidis-manibus victoriarum
Intuens equitationem fluctuum
A tumulo caprearum rufarum.
Lumon fluentorum ;
Es tu coruscans super meum animuni ipsius. ''
Experrectus est radius lucis ai) oriente ;
Surrexerunt ardua capita-nebulosa montium ;
Cernebantur in arenoso-littore vallicularum
