                   qualis erat (ex Athenis Batavis)      quid de auctoribus dixit (e Scaligeranis)

                   Quæcunque poscis, vltima ex origine
                   Planè expedibo: sed tamen prolixiùs
                   Parcas loquenti; non enim virgo, vt priùs,
                   Secura soluit multiplex os carminum,
5                  Sed & tumultum murmuris multi ciens,
                   [a] Superstitiosa fauce bacchata est sonum,
                   Tenebricosæ verba Sphingis æmulans:
                   Quorum memor mens quæ mihi nunc suggerit,
                   Adverte Rex, putansque mente singula,
10                Percurre [b] dictionum inobseruabiles
                   Scrutans camenas, quâ expedita semita
                   Ad planam ineptos ducit errores viam.
                   Ego at solutis carcerum repagulis
                   Verborum obibo flexuosos tramites,
15                Primum propulsans oppidum, vt cursor celer.
                        Matuta Fagutalis arcis culmina
                   Citis superuolabat alis Pegasi,
                   [c] Cascum maritum proximè Cernem insulam
                   Toro relinquens, bigenerem fratrem tuum:
20                Tranquillaque [d] ocris concaui ancoralia
                   Nautæ luebant, atque tonsillæ [e] tenus:
                   Puellicidam & vermigradæ [f] Salaciam
                   Scapis ruebant è [g] columbariis suis
                   Ciconiuestes pupulæ Phalacriæ,
25                Vltra Calydnas ventilantes palmulas,
                   Puppemque, passimque explicata [h] oraria,
                   Phrenetici Septentrionis flatibus:
                   At ipsa lymphata ora soluens cælitùs,
                   Ates ab altis peruagæ bouis iugis,
30                Cassandra tali voce primitùs fremit:
                        Heu heu cremata lacrymosa patria,
                   Primùm quidem feralibus Trinoctij
                   [i] Stlatis gigantis, ore quem quondam suo
                   Consi vorauit campo [j] manduces canis,
35                Qui viuus vstus excauator viscerum
                   Intra lebetis ignis expertes focos
                   [k] Formo capronas verticis fudit solo,
                   Prolis peremtor, patriæ pestis meæ:
                   Matri secundæ qui volanti cuspide
40                Detersit vber, inque Circi puluere
                   Quinquertionis membra patris sustulit
                   Saturnium ad cacumen, vbi terra sati
                   Formido equorum cespes Ischeni tumet:
                   Salsas [l] Triquetri qui latebras æquoris
45                Toruè obsidentem semifeminam canem
                   [m] Stinxit, rapinis imminentem piscium
                   [n] Gumiam boum leænam, adustis quam pater
                   Membris, lucernis corporauit igneis,
                   [o] Mortam haud pauentem sedis inferæ deam:
50                Quem cautè inermi fraude quondam mortuus
                   Extinxit, olim iam Quietali agnitum.
                   Heu té ne rursus, tén' crematam contuor
                   Vetusti ab armis Æaci, atque Tantali
                   Rogo sepultis intra Letrinam ossibus
55                Pulli igne [p] subuerbusti ad impiam dapem,
                   Telis bubulci Teutari volucribus.
                   Riualis vxor cuncta in oras luminis,
                   Legans [q] parectatum minantem patriæ,
                   Producet efferata patrijs probris,
60                Dirísque nuptiis peregrini tori: at
                   Salubrium cata vnguinum incurabile
                   Vulnus mariti conspicata pristini
                   Giganticidis interemti spiculis
                   Ab hoste, saltabit ruinam comparem,
65                Falis ab altis ad cadauer saucium
                   Corpus ruina cernuum in præceps ruens:
                   Et tunc recentis icta amore mortui,
                   Iam palpitanti spiritum afflabit uiro.
                   Duplex tuum triplexque bellum conqueror,
70                Ad arma rursus & rapinas ædium,
                   Tuíque te ignem contueri incendij.
                        Heu patria, & vos busta nati Atlantidis
                   Audacter vrinantis olim, cum cute
                   Suta reuinctis corpus, vtre scorteo,
75                Et solus, vt aper quadrupes Hercynius,
                   Rhithymniatis nauit vt larus fretum,
                   Zerinthi hiatum virginis Canariæ
                   Linquens, Deûmque tecta Lucumonum Saum:
                   Cùm corruebat omnem humum Diespitris
80                Rapax aqualis nimbus, & putres solo
                   Falæ fatidicentes lababant, at genus
                   Hominum natabat vltimo periculo,
                   Ad fagum, & almum fructum, & vuam musteam,
                   Orcæque, tum Delphines, atque masculûm
85                Phocæ insilibant in toros mortalium.
                        Adest adest fax inuoluta incendio,
                   Prædam in columbæ morte multandæ canis,
                   Vultur palustris quam edidit satu suo
                   Testæ rotundæ conuolutam fornice.
90                At hospitalis infera vnda remigem
                   Te [r] muricidam, nec bucerdam in patrijs
                   Caulis prementem scrupeis adhuc manet,
                   Et antè pulchritudinis trium arbitrium:
                   Sed pro mapalibus tu Aselli mattias,
95                Et Lan obibis: pro boum præsepibus,
                   Ouilibúsque, próque rustico pedo,
                   Vehet faselus te & Phereclij pedes,
                   Festras gemellas inque Gythii iuga,
                   Vbi ad scabrosa saxa pandatos luens
100               Pinus tenaces lubrici dentes freti,
                   Classem vniuelem liberalis motibus.
                        Et tu virosæ prædo iunicis lupus
                   Orbæ duarum iam columbarum pari,
                   Cassis peregrinæ in secundam indaginem
105               Vltro incidentis aucupis pennæ dolo,
                   Dapem ambidentum nuper in crepidine
                   Bacchis cremantis atque diuæ Albuneæ,
                   Curres super Scandeam & arces Ægili,
                   Venator atrox, præda opima ganniens:
110               Explensque amores in Draconis insula
                   Actæ, biformis editi terra imperî,
                   Vanam secundò non videbis [s] Murtiam,
                   Vlnarum inanem sarcinam, eque somnijs
                   Vacua torum nocturnus explorans manu.
115               Nam te Phlegręæ iam maritus coniugis
                   Tristis Torones, abdicator risuum
                   Et lacrimarum, namque nescit, & caret
                   Vltroque qui olim littoralem ex Thracia
                   Fecundi opimatam [t] Melonis fluctibus
120               Humum penetrans non trabe stlataria,
                   Inhospitale sed iter, vt cubilia
                   Terræ in profundos talpa pertundens specus,
                   Quærens recessus in cauernis æquorum,
                   Cauénsque natos perduelles hospitum,
125               Et audiendas supplicans patri preces,
                   Redux vt iret patriam, vnde peruagus
                   Matrem gigantum adiuerat Palleniam:
                   Tete ille Guneus quæstor vrnæ vindicis,
                   Sagacis arbitérque Solis filiæ,
130               His nuptijs priuabit incilans probris,
                   Pellens ab omni iure [u] prosedæ lupæ.
                   Qui nec Lyci sepulcra nec Chimærei
                   Oraculorum voce venerantes timens,
                   Nec illecebras Anthei, nec hospitum
135               Dapum sodalem, filium Consi, salem,
                   Deûm tulisti transilire sagmina,
                   Mensámque calcans, ius supinans & bonum,
                   Fetæ modum secutus vrsæ incicorem.
                   Ergo stupentes frustra tundes neruias,
140               Egentia & ieiuna fundens carmina:
                   Sed flens abibis patriam incensam priùs,
                   Exangue spectrum baiulans vlnis tuis
                   Iam quinquenuptæ Thyados Pleuroniæ.
                   Satæ [v] cataces namque Carmentæ mari
145               Iam panuclis neuêre trinis, coniuges
                   Thalassiones quinque celebrare illius:
                   Duos quidem videre prædones lupos
                   Catè intuentes præpetes immussulos:
                   Plyni & Libyssæ, Caricíque gurgitis
150               E stirpe cretum semicreta barbarum,
                   Et verè Epeum, nec quidem Argiuum satu,
                   Cuiús que auum quondam in molaribus suis
                   Hercynna Educa, quæ gerit [w] secespitam,
                   Fartim minutal frendicans, tumulo indidit,
155               Humeri vorax epulata cartilaginem:
                   Quem dudum adultum virbium, & cupidines
                   Graues cauentem nauium promi dei,
                   Misit Terentus in Letrinæ iugera
                   [x] Ocrin paratum præterire Molpidis
160               Lustrale cæsi corpus Imbrico Ioui:
                   Socer in ruinam qui trucidauit procos
                   Iussis nefandis, quæ Camili filius
                   Parauit: ille poculo exhausto vltimo,
                   Cognomini sepultus est Salacia,
165               [y] Suasam suis labem insipans natalibus,
                   Suræ [z] petillæ Psyllan aurigans equum,
                   [aa] Picatæ & Harpinnam parem vngula Strigi.
                   Tandem illa quartum fratrem adhuc tuebitur
                   Circanei [bb] acceptoris: ille è fratribus
170               Pugnæ secundum acerrimæ palmarium
                   Tulisse tunc canetur, atque in stragulis
                   Quintum anxijs insomnijs exercitum
                   Iactabit atro imaginis ludibrio,
                   Sponsum futurum [cc] Angitiæ Cytaicæ
175               Ardentis hospitem: quem ab Oenona exulans,
                   Vertens in hominum membra formicas breues,
                   Pelagiscum Typhona produxit pater,
                   Septem è puellis torridis [dd] forma lice
                   Superstitem vnum vindicatum ex ignibus.
180               Reciprocam ille sed remanabit viam,
                   Vespas suis è pumicetis exciens,
                   Quasi puer vapore suffiens domum:
                   Et cæteri Burri Duellinominis
                   Flabris inuencam [ee] tabulis cædent popæ,
185               Matrem draconis [ff] incientem Scyrij:
                   Quam sæpe conjunx Salmydesium salum
                   Intra requirens immolatricem hospitum,
                   Spumifragam insulam obsidebit Candidam,
                   Celti liquentes ad paludes gurgitis,
190               Amore sponsæ, cerua quam volucripes
                   Iugulum propinans eximet secespitæ,
                   Spaciosus intra littus appellabitur
                   Solus mariti cursus in crepidine
                   Sortem gementis atque classem cœlibem,
195               Et non videndo membra mutatam modo
                   [gg] Cascam, cruentum vas prope & libamina,
                   Orcíque flammam exuberantem funditùs
                   Cortinam ahenam, quam atra flabit, mortua
                   Cadauera elixans coquinatu improbo.
200               Et ille obibit eiulans campum Scythen,
                   Procans amoris quinque [hh] circites torum:
                   Illi ante acerras auguris Saturnij
                   Deglutientis cum parente filios
                   Secunda iurantes fidusta sagmina,
205               Tonsarum amicient remiges [ii] stropis manus,
                   Bacchúmque sospitem & prioris vindicem
                   Luctus canentes, cui obscuris cauis
                   Delphorum [jj] Apertæ ad antra Lucrini dei
                   Abstrusa liba Tauriformi offeret
210               Classis tremendæ mille prætor nauium.
                   Cui gratiam sacri nouam [kk] redandruans
                   Nefrondinosus Esquilinus Lucius,
                   Leoni ademto prandio, implicans rubis,
                   Segetem vetabit eruisse funditus
215               Vasto molari [ll] mattijsque querqueris.
                   Cerno sequacem iam [mm] napuram luctuum
                   Mari trahentem & conserentem patriæ
                   Minas feroces & malorum incendia.
                   Camillus Issa nec vtinam in circumflua
220               Te procreasset hostium nostrûm ducem,
                   Quartum satum ex Atlante [nn] destina coui,
                   Tuis parantem damna cognatis Prylin,
                   Sagax aruspex verè ad omnia optima:
                   Patérque iussus Æsaci fanatici
225               Non improbasset signa noctis [oo] arcula,
                   Cælasset vno sed duos pro patria
                   Fato, perurens membra Lemnio rogo:
                   Non tot malorum nunc procella surgeret.
                   Portumnus en cernet [pp] nefrendum carnifex
230               Feruere mergis spartisirpeis anum
                   Glauci Terenti coniugem Titaniam.
                   Cum patre bina dissipantur pignera,
                   Ducis molari lancinati [qq] coclaca:
                   Quæ fabulonis apparata fugerant
235               Vanis loquelis aluei discrimina,
                   Cui cuncta credens ille tortor liberûm,
                   Mergorum alumnus, pisculentæ compedis
                   Præda, ostreis valgísque Naritis comes,
                   Fetus gemellos clusit vno [rr] ploxeno:
240               Cumque his miser non matris ediscens deæ
                   Præcepta Mnamon, sed veterno obliuius,
                   [ss] Suppus recumbet, pectus ense saucius.
                        Nunc nunc gemit Myrina, nunc præsentiunt
                   Hinnitum equorum littorales margines,
245               Vbi Pelasgum lubricæ saltum [tt] pedæ
                   Librans crepidine vltima fremens lupus
                   Fontis creabit è saburra gurgitem,
                   Olim recludens ociosa flumina.
                   Iam culta vastat arua Mars Salisubsulus,
250               Reciproco cruenta signa murice
                   Edens: palàm omnis vasta tellus nunc iacet,
                   Horretque crebris vt seges noualium
                   [uu] Sicilicibus corusca: luctuum mihi
                   Pinnis imago aures ab alti personat,
255               Coui serescens omne peruolgans [vv] fretum
                   A feminarum vice, scissis vestibus
                   Luctus sequaces mutuò capientium.
                        Sed illud illud te, ô cor, infelix malum
                   Illud lacesset omnibus crudelius,
260               Vbi fremiscens [ww] celibari cæsius
                   Versam rapax sanqualis inscribens humum,
                   VruoÞue lirans orbitam anfractu viæ,
                   Horrendum acutus ore clangorem ciens,
                   Fratrum tuorum filium carissimum
265               Ptoi parentis ex humo susum auferens,
                   Artus cruentans vngue & immani gena,
                   [xx] Tifata patria tabo & arua polluet,
                   Bubulcus imporcitor ampli iugeri.
                   Et libripens trionis occisi stipem
270               Ferens [yy] aginæ examinatam lancibus,
                   Et rursus æquipondium redhostiens
                   [zz] Rodi micantis in statera auraria,
                   Bacchi iacebit funeratus amphora,
                   Fletusque Nymphis inquilinis Bephyri
275               Superque Pimpleam petræ Libethriæ,
                   Cadauerum propola, qui fatum tremens
                   Effeminatam corpori pallam induet,
                   Incilia tractans staminumque insubulos:
                   Tanget supremus [aaa] vinciam hostilem pede,
280               Te, frater, vnum vel pauens in somnijs.
                   Qualem heu rues, Fortuna, luctantem domus,
                   Patriæ caducæ subtrahens tibicinem.
                   Non absque lacrymis atque lesso riserit
                   Impunè latro Doriensum exercitus,
285               Vitulans ouanter morte confecti viri:
                   Sed circa puppes vltimo [bbb] aucto spiritus
                   Excurso, amaris ignibus cremabitur,
                   Iouem Fugulem plurima incalens prece
                   Amara fata concremato auertere.
290               Nec agger aut nauale propugnaculum,
                   Nec crebribus pluteus, atque scansilis
                   Non iuuerit lorica, non pinnarum opus,
                   Sed fumo vt [ccc] axe conglobatæ apiculæ,
                   Vaporis aura, torriumque verbere:
295               E puppe rostrisque atque rostrorum foris
                   Crebri petauristæ, & sedilibus suis
                   Saltu peregrinam cruentabunt humum.
                   [ddd] Procosque multos Græciæ palmatium
                   Hastas ferentes, inclutos prosapia,
300               Tuæ feroces morte mactabunt manus
                   Tabo cruentæ, amore belli asperrimæ.
                   Sed ipsa luctum non minorem perferam,
                   Tuo per omne mœsta tempus funere.
                   Nam dira mî illa dira lucescet dies,
305               Grauissimusque luctuum, anni quos senes
                   [eee] Circum rotantes Noctilucæ viderint.
                        Heu heu gemendus & mihi flos est tuus,
                   O puelle, dulcis heu parentum sarcina,
                   Amore sæuum qui dracontem saucians
310               Et illice igni, sauciumque compede
                   Grata coercens tempus ingratum breue,
                   A saucio non ipse saucius tamen,
                   Truncatus aram tu cruentabis patris.
                   Sed heu misella, par benignum virginum,
315               Tuumque bruta conqueror fatum canis:
                   Quarum sororem terra nutrix alteram
                   Hiulca deuorabit infero specu,
                   Adulta proximè intuentem incommoda,
                   Quam latè auitus lucus, & bustum lupæ
320               Iacet sepultæ adulteræ cum filio,
                   Priusquam opem mulgeret infans lacteam,
                   [fff] Assæque mundo rore corpus vngeret.
                   Sed cruda te ad sponsalia & connubij
                   Sacra admouebit durus Iphidis leo,
325               Atræ parentis æmulatus februa.
                   Namque in capacis ventre mactans nauiæ

330               At mancupatam te in supino littore
                   Thracum lapitam funditorum iactibus
                   Conuiciosis percitorum iniurijs
                   Abscondet imber saxeus manualium,

335               Ast ad bidental Anxuri domestici
                   Ornabit albis [iii] antijs crepidinem
                   Sororis olim lutea calautica
                   Redemtus, vstam cùm rediret patriam,

                   Pertundet, altas ventris impages trahens:
                   Et Sisypheæ volpis astutus cato
345               Lucebit ardens triste lucubrum nepos
                   Leucophryn atra nocte nauigantibus
                   Infaticidæ & insulas duas boæ.
                   Ast ipsa abhorrens pronubas tædas ego
