at, non tardatus iaculo occurrente, Ligaunus irruit adversumque viro rotat obvius ensem et ferit insurgens, humero qua brachia lenti annectunt nervi, decisaque vulnere laeva laxatis paulum moribunda pependit habenis; dumque micans tremulo conatu lora retemptat, flectentem assuetos imitatur nescia frenos.
But now Ligaunus, undeterred by the javelin that met him, rushed on and whirled his sword full in face of Quirinius, rising to his full height as he struck; and the left arm, where the tough muscles attach the limb to the shoulder, was cut off by the blow; for a space it hung dying over the slackened reins, and the quivering hand, while it felt again with feeble effort for the bridle, imitated unwittingly the familiar gesture of the horseman.
