  1. inde canina foro latrat Facundia toto,
  2. hinc gerit Herculeam vilis Sapientia clavam,
  3. ostentatque suos vicatim gymnosophistas,
  4. inccrat lapides fumosos Idololatrix
  5. Religio et surdis pallens advolvitur aris.
  6. heu quantis mortale genus premit inprobus hostis
  7. armigeris, quanto ferrata satellite ductor
  8. bella gerit, quanta victos dicione triumphat!
  9. surgit in auxilium Chananeus atque agmina denset
  10. casside terribilis, saetarum pondera mento
  11. concutiens dextramque gravi cum cuspide quassans.
  12. ast alia de parte furens exercitus ardet
  13. regis Amorraei, tum milia Gergeseorum
  14. effundunt aciem toto volitantia campo;

  18. mortifero splendore micant radiantque
  19. necantque. nec non terrificas pilis armare catervas
