stabat in Argolicae ferrato culmine turris egregius lituo dextri Mavortis Enyeus hortator; sed tunc miseris dabat utile signum suadebatque fugam et tutos in castra receptus, cum subitum obliquo descendit ab are vulnus, urguentisque sonum laeva manus aure retenta est, sicut erat; fugit in vacuas iam spiritus auras, iam gelida ora tacent, carmen tuba sola peregit.
In the iron-clad top of an Argive turret stood Enyeus, adept at urging men on with the trumpet to favouring Mavors. But at this time he was giving a signal useful to those in trouble, persuading flight and safe retreat to camp. Suddenly a side-stroke descended from the air and as he urged the sound his hand was nailed to his left ear, just as it was. Now his spirit flies into the empty breeze, now his mouth is cold and silent, the trumpet finished its call alone.
