Antenor potuit, mediis elapsus Achivis, Illyricos penetrare sinus, atque intima tutus regna Liburnorum, et fontem superare Timavi, unde per ora novem vasto cum murmure montis 245 it mare proruptum et pelago premit arva sonanti...
Page 207 - Perpetuis soliti patres considere mensis. Quin etiam veterum effigies ex ordine avorum Antiqua e cedro, Italusque, paterque Sabinus. Vitisator curvam servans sub imagine falcem, Saturnusque senex, Janique bifrontis imago, 180 Vestibulo adstabant, aliique ab origine reges, Martia qui ob patriam pugnando vulnera passi.
Page 212 - His ubi nequiquam dictis experta Latinum contra stare videt, penitusque in viscera lapsum serpentis furiale malum, totamque pererrat, 375 tum vero infelix, ingentibus excita monstris, immensam sine more furit lymphata per urbem: ceu quondam torto volitans sub verbere turbo, quem pueri magno in gyro vacua atria circum intenti ludo exercent; ille actus habena 380 curvatis fertur spatiis; stupet inscia supra impubesque manus, mirata volubile buxum; dant animos plagae.
Page 326 - Postquam acies videt Iliacas, atque agmina Turni, Alitis in parvae subitam collecta figuram, Quae quondam in bustis aut culminibus desertis Nocte sedens, serum canit importuna per umbras ; Hanc versa in faciem, Turni se pestis ob ora 865 Fertque refertque sonans, clipeumque everberat alis.
