Proudly he bellows, and preludes the fight:

He tries his goring horns against a tree,

And meditates his absent enemy:

He pushes at the winds; he digs the strand

With his black hoofs, and spurns the yellow sand.

Nor less the Trojan, in his Lemnian arms,

To future fight his manly courage warms:

He whets his fury, and with joy prepares

To terminate at once the lingering wars;

To cheer his chiefs and tender son, relates
