Emicat, et ventis et fulminis ocior alis; Proximus huic, longo sed proximus intervallo, Insequitur Salius; spatio post deinde relicto Tertius Euryalus; Euryalumque Helymus sequitur; quo deinde sub ipso Ecce volat calcemque terit iam calce Diores, Incumbens umero; spatia et si plura supersint, Transeat elapsus prior, ambiguumve relinquat. Iamque fere spatio extremo fessique sub apsam Finem adventabant, levi cum sanguine Nisus Labitur infelix, caesis ut forte iuvencis Fusus humum viridisque super madefecerat herbas. Hic iuvenis iam victor ovans vestigia presso Haud tenuit titubata solo, sed pronus in ipso Concidit immundoque fimo sacroque cruore. Non tamen Euryali, non ille oblitus amorum: Nam sese opposuit Salio per lubrica surgens; Ille autem spissa iacuit revolutus harena. Emicat Euryalus, et munere victor amici Prima tenet, plausuque volat fremituque secundo, Post Helymus subit, et nunc tertia palma Diores. Hic totum caveae consessum ingentis et ora Prima patrum magnis Salaus clamoribus implet, Ereptumque dolo reddi sibi poscit honorem. Tutatur favor Eurylum, lacrimaeque decorae, Gratior et pulchro veniens in corpore virtus. Adiuvat et magna proclamat voce Diores, Qui subiit palmae, frustraque ad praemia venit Ultima, si primi Salio reddantur honores. Tum pater Aeneas “Vestra” inquit “munera vobis Certa manent, pueri, et palmam movet ordine nemo; Me liceat casus miserari insontis amici,” Sic fatus tergum Gaetuli immane leonis Dat Salio, villis onerosum atque unguibus aureis. Hic Nisus “Si tanta” inquit “sunt praemia victis, Et te lapscrum miseret, quae munera Niso Digna dabis? primam merui qui laude coronam, Ni me, quae Salium, fortuna inimica tulisset.” Et simul his dictis faciem ostentabat et udo Turpia membra fimo. Risit pater optimus olli,

LATIN VERGIL’S AENEIDOS V, 286-362. Hoc pius Aeneas misso certamine tendit Gramineum in campum, quem collibus undique curvis Cingebant silvae, mediaque in valla theatri Circus erat; quo se multis cum milibus heros Consessu medium tulit exstructoque resedit. Hic, qui forte velint rapido contendere cursu. Invitat pretiis animos, et praemia ponit. Undique conveniunt Teucri mixtique Sican:, Nisus et Euryalus primi; Euryalus forma insignis viridique inventa, Nisus amore pio pueri; quos deinde secutus Regius egregia Priami de stirpe Diores; Hune Salius simul et Patron, puorum alter Acarnan, Alter ab Arcadio Tegeaeae sanguine gentis; Tum duo Trinacrii iuvenes, Helymus Panopesque, Adsueti silvis, comites senioris Acestae; Multi praeterea, quos fama obscura recondit. Aeneas quibus in mediis sic deinde locutus: “Accipite haec animis, laetasque advertite mentes: Nemo ex hoe numero mihi non donatus abibit. Cnosia bina dabo levato lucida ferro Spicula caelatamque argento ferre bipennem; Omnibus his erit unus honos. Tres praemia primi Accipient, flavaque caput nectentur oliva. Primus equum phaleris insignem victor habeto; Alter Amazoniam pharetram plenamque sagittis Threiciis, lato quam circumplectitur auro Balteus, et tereti subnectit fibula gemma; Tertius Argolica hac galea contentus abito.” Haec ubi dicta, locum capiunt, signoque repente Corripiunt spatia audito, limenque relinquunt, Effusi nimbo similes, simul ultima signant. Primus abit longeque ante omnia corpora Nisus

Et clipeum efferri iussit, Didymaonis artis, Neptuni sacro Danais de poste refixum. Hoe iuvenem egregium praestanti munere donat. AN ANCIENT FOOT RACE. The good Aeneas, when this race was won, Proceeded t’ward the campus on a run, Where forest on surrounding hills, sustains A theatre, by nature ‘ranged for games; And here our hero ‘midst the multitude Must rest himself upon the seats so rude. For those who wished to run a race so short, He quickly rouses with rich gifts from court. Sicilians too assemble with their posts, Euryalus and Nisus reach their posts, The former young, with smiling friendly eyes, But muscles hard and strong, of bulky size; The latter swift of foot, but very thin, Would give his life so that his friend might win; Then after them there comes Diores’ face, A royal youth of Priam’s noble race; Then Salius and Patron get in file, For both are Greeks and run in foreign style; And last comes Kelymus and Panopes, Two youths, close friends of famous Acestes; And others come, that they might try their pace, sut dim tradition hid them in this race. It pleased the hero, seeing such a crowd, And thus he spoke these words extremely loud: “Please turn your eyes and thoughts this way, And joyf’ly hark to what I say. Two arrows with their points ablaze, A battle-axe with silver rays, These gifts on every man and boy Will I bestow with solemn joy. The three in first receive a prize And olive wreaths shall shade their eyes. Of these, the victor proud will get A steed adorned with golden net;
