ludificante etiam terroris imagine somnos, Gallorum visi bustis erumpere manes; terque quaterque solo penitus tremuere revulsae Tarpeiae rupes, atque atro sanguine flumen manavit Iovis in templis, lacrimaeque vetusta effigie patris large fluxere Quirini.
Sleep also was mocked by terrible images: men dreamt that the ghosts of the Gauls were breaking forth from their graves. Again and again the Tarpeian rock was shaken and wrenched from its very base; a dark stream of blood flowed in the temples of Jupiter; and the ancient image of Father Quirinus shed floods of tears.
