iam laceri pronis volvuntur cursibus artus oraque et abscisae redeunt in pectora dextrae, spicula iam clipeosque leves arcusque remissos unda vehit, galeasque vetant descendere cristae: summa vagis late sternuntur flumina telis, ima viris; illic luctantur corpora leto, efflantesque animas retro premit obvius amnis.
Now mangled limbs and heads roll on the down-flowing current and severed hands rejoin breasts, now the flood carries darts and light bucklers and bows unstrung, and plumes forbid helmets to flow downstream.  The surface of the water is widely strewn with stray weapons, its depths with men; there bodies struggle with death and lives breathing forth are met and pushed back by the river.
