      “non tamen hanc sacro violari pondere pinum

      perpetiar” dixi; “pars hic mihi maxima iuris”

      inque aditu obsisto: furit audacissimus omni

      de numero Lycabas, qui Tusca pulsus ab urbe

      exilium dira poenam pro caede luebat; 625

      is mihi, dum resto, iuvenali guttura pugno

      rupit et excussum misisset in aequora, si non

      haesissem, quamvis amens, in fune retentus.

      inpia turba probat factum; tum denique Bacchus

      (Bacchus enim fuerat), veluti clamore solutus 630

      sit sopor aque mero redeant in pectora sensus,

      “quid facitis? quis clamor?” ait “qua, dicite, nautae,

      huc ope perveni? quo me deferre paratis?”
