quid plura? iam niger caespes ex viridi, iam supra antiquum quum sepulchrum glaebae recentes, cum forte pergens urbem ad Arvernam publicum scelus e supercilio vicini collis aspexi meque equo effuso tam per aequata quam per abrupta proripiens et morae exiguae sic quoque impatiens, antequam pervenirem, facinus audax praevio clamore compescui.
Well, I will cut my story short: the surface had changed from green to black, and fresh clods were already covering the ancient burial-place, when I, happening to be on my way to the Arvernian capital, saw this offence against the community from the brow of a neighbouring hill. I gave the reins to my horse and galloped over level and steep ground alike, and even so was impatient at the slight delay in getting there; I therefore, before I reached the spot, stopped the wicked proceeding by sending a shout ahead of me.
