traxerat insomnis cithara ludoque suprema sidera iam nullos visurus Ialmenus ortus, Sidonium paeana canens; huic languida cervix in laevum cogente deo, mediaque iacebant colla relicta lyra: ferrum per pectus Agylleus exigit aptatamque cava testudine dextram percutit et digitos inter sua fila trementes.
Ialmenus had spent his last stars sleepless in music and sport, never to see another sunrise, singing a Sidonian song of victory. At the gods compulsion his head drooped leftward and his neck lay in abandon over the lyre. Agylleus drives his steel through the breast and strikes the right hand attached to the hollow tortoiseshell and the fingers trembling among their strings.
