[83] Labitur infelix studiorum, atque immemor herbæ Victor equus.——
Unhappy of his Toils, the Victor Steed Sinks, and forgets his Food.
Again:
[84] Tum vero ardentes oculi, atque attractus ab alto Spiritus, interdum gemitu gravis; imaque longo Ilia singultu tendunt; it naribus ater Sanguis, & obsessas fauces premit aspera lingua.
His Eyes are all inflam'd; from his deep Breast His Breath with Labour heaves; long Sobs and Groans Distend his Entrails: From his Nostrils drops Black ropy Gore, and to his Jaws his Tongue Clotted with Filth, and Putrefaction, cleaves.
Afterwards:
[85] Ecce! autem duro fumans sub vomere taurus Concidit, & mixtum spumis vomit ore cruorem, Extremosque ciet gemitus: it tristis arator, Mœrentem abjungens fraterna morte juvencum, Atque opere in medio defixa relinquit aratra.
Smoking beneath the Plough the sturdy Steer Falls down, and spues a Flood of Gore and Foam, And groans his last: The pensive Hind unyokes His mourning Fellow Lab'rer, and amidst Th' unfinish'd Furrow leaves the sticking Share.
In the foremention'd Description of the Fate of Orpheus and Eurydice:
[86] Illa, quis & me, inquit, miseram, & te perdidit, Orpheu? Quis tantus furor? en! iterum crudelia retro Fata vocant, conditque natantia lumina somnus. Jamque vale; feror ingenti circumdata nocte, Invalidasque tibi tendens, heu! non tua, palmas.
