Tifata umbrifero generatum monte Calenum nutrierant audere trucem; nec corpore magno mens erat inferior, subsidere saepe leonem, nudus inire caput pugnas, certare iuvenco atque obliqua trucis deducere cornua tauri assuerat crudoque aliquo se attollere facto.
The shady hill of Tifata had given birth and nurture to Calenus, a fierce warrior; great was his body, and his fiery spirit as great. Often did he surprise a lion in its lair, or go to battle with head uncovered, or wrestle with a steer and force down to earth the horns of an angry bull; and often he gained glory by some desperate deed.
