  1. ternis dierum ac noctium processibus
  2. mansit ferino devoratus gutture;
  3. errabat illic per latebras viscerum,
  4. ventris meandros circumibat tortiles
  5. anhelus extis intus aestuantibus.
  6. intactus exim tertiae noctis vice
  7. monstri vomentis pellitur singultibus;
  8. qua murmuranti fine fluctus frangitur
  9. salsosque candens spuma fundit pumices,
  10. ructatus exit seque servatum stupet.
  11. in Ninevitas se coactus percito
  12. gressu reflectit, quos ut increpaverat
  13. pudenda censor inputans opprobria,
  14. inpendet inquit ‘ira summi vindicis,
  15. urbemque flamma mox cremabit, credite.’
  16. apicem deinde ardui montis petit,
  17. visurus inde conglobatum turbidae
  18. fumum ruinae cladis et dirae struem,
    19. p.66
  19. tectus flagellis multinodis germinis,
  20. nato et repente perfruens umbraculo.
