qualis adhuc teneros ut primum pallida fetus mater ab excelso produxit in aethera nido hortaturque sequi brevibusque insurgere pinnis, illos caerulei primus ferit horror Olympi, iamque redire rogant adsuetaque quaeritur arbor: haud aliter caecae per moenia deficit urbis incedens horretque domos Medea silentes.
Even as when a fearful mother from the high nest first leads forth into the air her tender brood, and bids them follow her and rise on puny wings, the first shuddering dread of the blue air makes them quail, and soon they pray her to return, and make for their accustomed tree: so faints Medea as she passes through the walls of the unseeing city, and shudders at the silent houses.
