ipse annis sceptrisque subit venerabilis aeque: ut possessa diu taurus meat arduus inter pascua iam laxa cervice et inanibus armis, dux tamen: haud illum bello attemptare iuvencis sunt animi; nam trunca vident de vulnere multo cornua et ingentes plagarum in pectore nodos.
He himself joins them, venerable alike in years and sceptre, like a bull moving tall among the pastures he has long possessed; his neck is slack now and his shoulders empty, but still he is the leader; the steers have no stomach to attempt him in battle, for they see his horns broken from many a blow and the massive nodules of breast wounds.
