sicut agit levibus per sera crepuscula pennis e pastu volucres ad nota cubilia vesper; aut, ubi Cecropius formidine nubis aquosae sparsa super flores examina tollit Hymettos, ad dulces ceras et odori corticis antra mellis apes gravidae properant densoque volatu raucum connexae glomerant ad limina murmur.
So, in the late twilight, evening sends the birds on their light wings back from their feeding-ground to their familiar roosts; or so, when Cecropian Hymettusa scares with menace of a rain-cloud the swarms scattered over the flowers, the bees, heavy with honey, hasten back to their luscious combs and hives of fragrant cork; they fly in a close pack, and unite in a deep humming noise outside the hives.
