sic ait abruptisque immutuit ore querelis non secus ac primo fraudatum lacte iuvencum, cui trepidae vires et solus ab ubere sanguis, seu fera seu duras avexit pastor ad aras; nunc vallem spoliata parens, nunc flumina questu, nunc arbusta movet vacuosque interrogat agros; tunc piget ire domum, maestoque novissima campo exit et oppositas impasta avertitur herbas.
As when a bull calf whose strength is tremulous, his vigour drawn only from the udder, is cheated of his first milk, carried off by a wild beast or a shepherd for the cruel altar; now the robbed mother stirs valley and rivers and trees with her complaint, questioning the empty fields; then she cares not to go home, she is last to leave the sad meadow, and turns away unfed from the grass before her.
