Infrenant alii currus aut corpora saltu
subiciunt in equos et strictis ensibus adsunt.
Messapus regem regisque insigne gerentem,
290Tyrrhenum Aulesten, avidus confundere foedus,
adverso proterret equo: ruit ille recedens
et miser oppositis a tergo involvitur aris
in caput inque umeros. At fervidus advolat hasta
Messapus teloque orantem multa trabali
295desuper altus equo graviter ferit atque ita fatur:
“Hoc habet, haec melior magnis data victima divis.”
Concurrunt Itali spoliantque calentia membra.
Obvius ambustum torrem Corynaeus ab ara
corripit et venienti Ebuso plagamque ferenti
300occupat os flammis: olli ingens barba reluxit
nidoremque ambusta dedit. Super ipse secutus
caesariem laeva turbati corripit hostis
inpressoque genu nitens terrae adplicat ipsum:
sic rigido latus ense ferit. Podalirius Alsum
305pastorem primaque acie per tela ruentem,
ense sequens nudo superimminet: ille securi
adversi frontem mediam mentumque reducta
disicit et sparso late rigat arma cruore.
Olli dura quies oculos et ferreus urget
310somnus, in aeternam conduntur lumina noctem.
