sic ubi perspicuae scandentem limina turris Idaliae volucres fulvum aspexere draconem, intus agunt natos et feta cubilia vallant unguibus imbellesque citant ad proelia pennas; mox ruerit licet ille retro, tamen ara nudum candida turba timet, tandemque ingressa volatus horret et a mediis etiamnum respicit astris.
So when Idalian birds  have seen a tawny snake climbing the threshold of a conspicuous tower, they drive their chicks inside and fence their full nests with their claws and rouse unwarlike wings to battle; though presently he hasten backward, the white flock fear the naked air and, launching at last on flight, still look back in terror from amid the stars.
