Nec tu carminibus nostris indictus abibis, Oebale, quem generasse Telon Sebethide nympha fertur, Teleboum Capreas cum regna teneret, iam senior; patriis sed non et filius arvis contentus late iam tum dicione premebat Sarrastis populos et quae rigat aequora Sarnus, quique Rufras Batulumque tenent atque arva Celemnae, Teutonico ritu soliti torquere cateias; et quos maliferae despectant moenia Abellae, tegmina quis capitum raptus de subere cortex aerataeque micant peltae, micat aereus ensis.
Nor will you, Oebalus, pass unhonoured in our songs'you whom, it is said, the nymph Sebethis bore to Telon, when he reigned over Teleboan Capreae, now stricken in years; but, not content with his ancestral fields, his son even then held sway far and wide over the Sarrastian tribes, and the plains watered by Sarnus, those who dwell in Rufrae and Batulum and Celemnas fields, wont to hurl their darts in Teuton fashion, and those on whom look down the battlements of Abella, rich in apples, men whose headgear was bark stripped from the cork tree; bronze flash their shields, their sword flashes bronze.
