<strong>Aeneis</strong>/Liber X 207<br />
ingred<strong>it</strong>urque solo et caput inter nubila cond<strong>it</strong>,<br />
talis se uastis infert Mezentius armis.<br />
huic contra Aeneas speculatus in agmine longo<br />
obuius ire parat. manet imperterr<strong>it</strong>us ille 770<br />
hostem magnanimum opperiens, et mole sua stat;<br />
atque oculis spatium emensus quantum satis hastae:<br />
'dextra mihi deus et telum, quod missile libro,<br />
nunc adsint! uoueo praedonis corpore raptis<br />
indutum spoliis ipsum te, Lause, tropaeum 775<br />
Aeneae.' dix<strong>it</strong>, stridentemque eminus hastam<br />
iec<strong>it</strong>. at illa uolans clipeo est excussa proculque<br />
egregium Antoren latus inter et ilia fig<strong>it</strong>,<br />
Herculis Antoren com<strong>it</strong>em, qui missus ab Argis<br />
haeserat Euandro atque Itala consederat urbe. 780<br />
stern<strong>it</strong>ur infelix alieno uulnere, caelumque<br />
aspic<strong>it</strong> et dulcis moriens reminisc<strong>it</strong>ur Argos.<br />
tum pius Aeneas hastam iac<strong>it</strong>; illa per orbem<br />
aere cauum triplici, per linea terga tribusque<br />
transi<strong>it</strong> intextum tauris opus, imaque sed<strong>it</strong> 785<br />

ille pedem referens et inutilis inque ligatus<br />
