Notes Display Latin text | translated by Theodore C. Williams Book IX Chapter 15: The Rutules mourn | Next chapter Return to index Previous chapter |
The Rutules seized the spoils of victory, and slowly to their camp, with wail and cry, bore Volscens' corse; and in the camp they made like wailing over Rhamnes lifeless found, o'er Numa and Serranus, and a throng of princes dead. The gazing people pressed around the slain, the dying, where the earth ran red with slaughter and full many a stream of trickling gore; nor did they fail to know Messapus' glittering helm, his baldric fair, recaptured now with lavish sweat and pain. Event: Sortie of Nisus and Euryalis |
450-458 Victores praeda Rutuli spoliisque potiti Volcentem exanimum flentes in castra ferebant. nec minor in castris luctus Rhamnete reperto exsangui et primis una tot caede peremptis, Serranoque Numaque. ingens concursus ad ipsa corpora seminecisque uiros, tepidaque recentem caede locum et pleno spumantis sanguine riuos. agnoscunt spolia inter se galeamque nitentem Messapi et multo phaleras sudore receptas. |
