qualis ubi primam leo mane cubilibus atris erexit rabiem et saevo speculatur ab antro aut cervum aut nondum bellantem fronte iuvencum, it fremitu gaudens; licet arma gregesque lacessant venantum, praedam videt et sua vulnera nescit: sic tum congressu Capaneus gavisus iniquo librabat magna venturam mole cupressum.
As a lion rouses his first fury at daybreak in his dark lair and spies from his grim cavern a stag or a steer with brow not yet for fighting; off he goes joyously roaring, though arms and bands of hunters challenge, sees his prey and knows not of his wounds: so then Capaneus rejoicing in the unequal encounter poises the mighty weight of his cypress for its journey.
