ausus digna viro, fortuna digna secunda, extulerat dextram atque adversum comminus ensem Mincius, infelix ausi; sed stridula, anhelum fervorem effundens, monstri manus abstulit acri implicitum nexu diroque ligamine torsit et superas alte miserum iaculata per auras telluri elisis afflixit, flebile, membris.
Mincius showed courage worthy of a warrior and worthy of better fortune: coming close, he raised up his drawn sword; but his brave deed miscarried; for the trunk of the trumpeting monster, discharging hot and panting breath, wound its angry coils round him and lifted him up; then it brandished his body in that dreadful grasp, and hurled it high in air, and dashed the crushed limbs of the poor wretch upon the ground'a mournful sight.
