     dic inclyta, Phoebe, regentum
     nomina, die ipsos ; neque enim generosior umquam
     alipedum conlata acies, ceu praepete cursu
     confligant densae volucres aut litore in uno
     Aeolus insanis statuat certamina ventis.

     Tell, O Phoebus, the drivers' famous names, tell of the steeds themselves ; for never did nobler array of wing-footed coursers meet in conflict : even as serried ranks of birds compete in swift course or on a single shore Aeolus appoints a contest for the wild winds.

     prolusit irae, praepeti cursu evolat,
