iamque insertato reserarat viscera cultro vittatus de more senex manibusque cruentis tractabat trepidas letali frigore fibras, postremosque animae pulsus in corde tepenti callidus interpres numeris et fine notabat: cum subito exclamat media inter sacra sacerdos pallidus en quid ago? maius, rex optime, maius numen nescio quod nostris intervenit aris quam sufferre queant spumantia cymbia lacte, caesarum sanguis pecudum, verbena, coronae.
Already the old man, wearing his ritual head-bands, had put in the knife and laid open the inward parts, and with blood-stained fingers was handling the tissues still palpitating in the chill of death, and like a skilled interpreter counting, till they stopped, the last life-beats in the heart as it grew cold, when suddenly in the midst of the rites the priest turned pale and cried What do I do? Some greater godhead, O best of princes, is interfering with our sacrifice, yea greater than bowls of frothing milk, the blood of slaughtered cattle, holy herbs and wreaths can bear.
