Page 247 - Tam multae scelerum facies; non ullus aratro Dignus honos; squalent abductis arva colonis, Et curvae rigidum falces conflantur in ensem. Hinc movet Euphrates, illinc Germania bellum ; Vicinae ruptis inter se legibus urbes 510 Arma ferunt ; saevit toto Mars impius orbe : Ut cum carceribus sese effudere quadrigae, Addunt in spatia, et frustra retinacula tendens Fertur equis auriga, neque audit currus habenas.

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.
