V. 494-521. TEMORA. 231
Ne sit recordatus ejus luctus usque ad tertiam partem,
Qui consumit animam senectaj usque ad summura.
Cecidit obscuritas atra super latus Molen£e,
Cani obliquabantur flexuosi rivi in valle :
Audita est vox Fingalis surgens
Et flamma è fuscà arbore montium.
Convenerunt ex adverso populi sub gaudio,
Sub gaudio semi-tenebroso sub tetricitate,
Tuentes sub eorum genis ad magnum principem
Sine animo in superbià in (eo) tempore.
Blanda è desertis inanium montium
Processit vox lenta chordarum ad aurem,
Ut murmur fluentorum è latere saxetorum,
Illis procul ex adverso in valle collium
Haud-gravibus super descensu subfusco clivorum,
Vel ut aura fusca super alà undarum,
Quando opprimit illa virum cirrorum-canorum
In flexuoso-circuitu noctis sub tetricitate.
Erat vox blandi Condanis quìE aderat,
Et Carrulis cum citharis chordarum.
Venit (xuaKìju/iAaTo;} ca;ruleis-oculis huc
Ad ]\Ioram tardorum fluentorum sub fremitu.
Ocyus eruperunt modi a bardis
Super Lenam saxetorum et arduorum tumulorum ;
Percutiebant populi universi suos clypeos
Inter conversionem et circumflexionem modorum.
Enituit leetitia in vultu regis,
Sicut jubar iens deorsum à nube,
