quis rubor iste poli? quod tam lugubre refulsit sidus? ait; reddit trepido cui talia virgo: ipsius en oculos et lumina torva draconis aspicis: ille suis haec vibrat fulgura cristis, meque pavens contra solam videt ac vocat ultro, ceu solet, et blanda poscit me pabula lingua.
Why glows the heaven so, what is that baleful star? he asks; and the maiden thus makes answer to his fear: It is the eyes and angry glare of the dragon himself thou seest; from his crest shoot those quivering flashes, and at me alone doth he gaze in fear, and as of wont of his own accord he summons me, and with fawning tongue asks me for food.
