vertice sic Pholos volucrum nutritor equorum, cum fetura gregem pecoroso vere novavit, laetatur cernens hos montis in ardua niti, hos innare vadis, certare parentibus illos; tunc vacuo sub corde movet, qui molle domandi ferre iugum, qui terga boni, quis in arma tubasque natus, ad Eleas melior quis surgere palmas: talis erat turmae ductor longaevus Achivae.
So on Pholos top the rearer of fleet horses, when birth has renewed his stud in the cattle-teeming springtime, is happy to see some struggling up the mountain heights, some swimming in the waters, others vying with their parents; then his free mind asks which should be broken in to a gentle yoke, which will make good riding, which is born for arms and trumpets, which better fitted to attain Elean palms. Such was the aged leader of the Achaean host.
