aderat miserabile luco excidium: fugere ferae, nidosque tepentes absiliunt (metus urguet) aves; cadit ardua fagus Chaoniumque nemus brumaeque illaesa cupressus, procumbunt piceae, flammis alimenta supremis, ornique iliceaeque trabes metuendaque suco taxus et infandos belli potura cruores fraxinus atque situ non expugnabile robur.
Piteous destruction was at hand for that grove. The beasts fled, the birds flitted from their warm nests'fear drives. Falls the towering beech, the Chaonian forest and the cypress that winter cannot harm, spruces fall, aliment for funeral flames, and mountain ashes, and trunks of ilex, and yew of dangerous sap, and ash that will drink blood shed in accursed war, and age-proof robur.
