<strong>Aeneis</strong>/Liber VIII 153<br />
ecce furens animis aderat Tirynthius omnemque<br />
accessum lustrans huc ora ferebat et illuc,<br />
dentibus infrendens. ter totum feruidus ira 230<br />
lustrat Auentini montem, ter saxea temptat<br />
limina nequiquam, ter fessus ualle resed<strong>it</strong>.<br />
stabat acuta silex praecisis undique saxis<br />
speluncae dorso insurgens, altissima uisu,<br />
dirarum nidis domus opportuna uolucrum. 235<br />
hanc, ut prona iugo laeuum incumbebat ad amnem,<br />
dexter in aduersum n<strong>it</strong>ens concuss<strong>it</strong> et imis<br />
auulsam solu<strong>it</strong> radicibus, inde repente<br />
impul<strong>it</strong>; impulsu quo maximus intonat aether,<br />
dissultant ripae reflu<strong>it</strong>que exterr<strong>it</strong>us amnis. 240<br />
at specus et Caci detecta apparu<strong>it</strong> ingens<br />
regia, et umbrosae pen<strong>it</strong>us patuere cauernae,<br />
non secus ac si qua pen<strong>it</strong>us ui terra dehiscens<br />
infernas reseret sedes et regna recludat<br />

ergo insperata deprensum luce repente<br />
inclusumque cauo saxo atque insueta rudentem<br />

aduocat et ramis uastisque molaribus instat. 250<br />
ille autem, neque enim fuga iam super ulla pericli,<br />
faucibus ingentem fumum (mirabile dictu)<br />
euom<strong>it</strong> inuolu<strong>it</strong>que domum caligine caeca<br />
prospectum eripiens oculis, glomeratque sub antro<br />
fumiferam noctem commixtis igne tenebris. 255<br />
