At, quos ipsius mensis seposta Lyaei Setia et e celebri miserunt valle Velitrae, quos Cora, quos spumans immiti Signia musto, et quos pestifera Pomptini uligine campi, qua Saturae nebulosa palus restagnat, et atro liventes coeno per squalida turbidus arva cogit aquas Ufens atque inficit aequora limo, ducit avis pollens nec dextra indignus avorum Scaevola, cui dirae caelatur laudis honora effigie clipeus: flagrant altaribus ignes, Tyrrhenum valli medio stat Mucius ira in semet versa, saevitque in imagine virtus: tanta ictus specie finire hoc bella magistro cernitur effugiens ardentem Porsena dextram.
Setia, whose vintage is reserved for the table of Lyaeusa himself, sent her men, and so did the valley of Velitrae well known to fame, and Cora, and Signia whose foaming wine is bitter; and the Pomptine marshes that breed disease, where the misty swamp of Satura covers the land, and the dark Ufens drives his black and muddy current through unsightly fields and dyes the sea with slime. These were led by Scaevola, nobly born and in courage not unworthy of his ancestors. Carved upon his shield was a picture of that dreadful deed of heroismb: the fire blazed on the altar, and Mucius stood in the centre of the Tuscan camp and turned his rage against himself: and his ruthless courage was seen in the carving. Cowed by such a sight, and taught by such an example, Porsena was shown, abandoning the war and flying from that burning hand.
