qualis leo rupe sub alta, quem viridem quondam silvae montesque tremebant, iam piger et longo iacet exarmatus ab aevo, magna tamen facies et non adeunda senectus; et si demissas veniat mugitus ad aures, erigitur meminitque sui, viresque solutas ingemit et campis alios regnare leones.
like to a lion under a high crag, at whom in his prime forest and mountain once trembled; now he lies inactive, disarmed by length of years, yet his face is grand and his old age best left alone; and if a sound of lowing come to his drooping ears, he rises up and remembers himself, groaning for his strength decayed and that other lions bear lordship in the plains.
