qualis saepe viae deprensus in aggere serpens, aerea quem obliquum rota transiit aut gravis ictu seminecem liquit saxo lacerumque viator; nequiquam longos fugiens dat corpore tortus, parte ferox ardensque oculis et sibila colla arduus attollens; pars vulnere clauda retentat nexantem nodis seque in sua membra plicantem: tali remigio navis se tarda movebat; vela facit tamen et plenis subit ostia velis.
Just as often, when caught on the highway, a serpent which a brazen wheel has crossed aslant, or with blow of a heavy stone a wayfarer has crushed and left half-dead, vainly tries to escape and trails its long coils; part defiant, his eyes ablaze and his hissing neck raised aloft; part, maimed by the wound, holding him back, as he twists in coils and twines himself upon his own limbs'with such oarage, the ship moved slowly on; but it hoists sail and under full sail makes the harbours mouth.
