hi praefixa solo vellunt munimina, at illi portarum obiectus minuunt et ferrea sudant claustra remoliri, trabibusque atque aere sonoro pellunt saxa loco; pars ad fastigia missas exsultant haesisse faces, pars ima lacessunt scrutanturque cavas caeca testudine turres.
Some tear up defences planted in the ground, others dismantle blocks before the gates and sweat to remove iron barriers and drive stones from their place with beams and sounding bronze. Part hurl torches at the rooftops and exult when they stick, part challenge the foundations and search the hollow turrets with their blind tortoise.
