Hic Iovis altisoni subito pinnata satelles48.
Arboris e trunco serpentis saucia morsu
Subrigit ipsa feris transfigens unguibus anguem
Semianimum et varia graviter cervice micantem
Quem se intorquentem lanians rostroque cruentans
Iam satiata animos, iam duros ulta dolores
Abicit ecflantem et laceratum adfligit in unda
Seque obitu a solis nitidos convertit ad ortus.
Hanc ubi praepetibus pinnis lapsuque volantem
Conspexit Marius, divini numinis augur,
Faustaque signa suae laudis reditusque notavit, [p. 185]
Partibus intonuit caeli pater ipse sinistris.
Sic aquilae clarum firmavit Iuppiter omen.
