Page 325 - En, qui nostra sibi bello connubia poscunt ! Quis deus Italiam, quae vos dementia adegit ? Non hic Atridae, nec fandi fictor Ulixes. Durum a stirpe genus natos ad flumina primum Deferimus saevoque gelu duramus et undis ; Venatu invigilant pueri, silvasque fatigant ; Flectere ludus equos et spicula tendere cornu.
