sic aspera tigris fetibus abreptis Scythico deserta sub antro accubat et tepidi lambit vestigia saxi; nusquam irae, sedit rabidi feritasque famesque oris, eunt praeter secura armenta gregesque: aspicit illa iacens; ubi enim quibus ubera pascat aut quos ingenti premat exspectata rapina? Hactenus arma, tubae, ferrumque et vulnera: sed nunc comminus astrigeros Capaneus tollendus in axes.
So the fierce tigress whose cubs have been stolen lies forsaken in her Scythian cave and licks the prints on the warm stone; gone is her rage, quiet the wildness and the hunger of her rabid mouth; herds and flocks pass by unafraid; she looks and lies; for where are they for whom she should nourish her dugs, whom, long awaited, she should load with massive prey? Thus far of arms, trumpets, of steel and wounds. But now Capaneus must be raised aloft to fight the starry vault at close quarters.
