semianimas alter pecudes spirantiaque ignis accipit armenta; hic luctus abolere novique funeris auspicium vates, quamquam omina sentit vera, iubet: dextri gyro et vibrantibus hastis hac redeunt, raptumque suis libamen ab armis quisque iacit, seu frena libet seu cingula flammis mergere seu iaculum summae seu cassidis umbram.
Another fire receives half-dead sheep and breathing cattle. At this point the prophet bids cancel the mourning and the auspice of strange calamity, though he knows the omens speak true. Rightward they return wheeling with quivering spears and each throws an offering snatched from his arms, be it bridle or belt he chooses to sink in the flames or javelin or the crest that shades his helmet.
