1174multi praecipites nymphis putealibus alte
1175inciderunt ipso venientes ore patente:
1176insedabiliter sitis arida corpora mersans
1177aequabat multum parvis umoribus imbrem.
1178nec requies erat ulla mali: defessa iacebant
1179corpora. mussabat tacito medicina timore,
1180quippe patentia cum totiens ardentia morbis
1181lumina versarent oculorum expertia somno.
1182multaque praeterea mortis tum signa dabantur:
1183perturbata animi mens in maerore metuque,
1184triste supercilium, furiosus voltus et acer,
1185sollicitae porro plenaeque sonoribus aures,
1186creber spiritus aut ingens raroque coortus,
1187sudorisque madens per collum splendidus umor,
1188tenvia sputa minuta, croci contacta colore
1189salsaque per fauces rauca vix edita tussi.
