    Vestibulum ante ipsum primoque in limine Pyrrhus
    470
    exsultat, telis et luce coruscus aëna;
    qualis ubi in lucem coluber mala gramina pastus
    frigida sub terra tumidum quem bruma tegebat,
    nunc, positis novus exuviis nitidusque iuventa,
    lubrica convolvit sublato pectore terga
    475
    arduus ad solem, et linguis micat ore trisulcis.
    Una ingens Periphas et equorum agitator Achillis,
    armiger Automedon, una omnis Scyria pubes
    succedunt tecto, et flammas ad culmina iactant.
    Ipse inter primos correpta dura bipenni
    480
    limina perrumpit, postisque a cardine vellit
    aeratos; iamque excisa trabe firma cavavit
    robora, et ingentem lato dedit ore fenestram.
    Adparet domus intus, et atria longa patescunt;
    adparent Priami et veterum penetralia regum,
    485
    armatosque vident stantis in limine primo.
    At domus interior gemitu miseroque tumultu
    miscetur, penitusque cavae plangoribus aedes
    femineis ululant; ferit aurea sidera clamor.
    Tum pavidae tectis matres ingentibus errant;
    490
    amplexaeque+ tenent+ postis atque+ oscula+ figunt+.
    Instat vi patria Pyrrhus; nec claustra, neque ipsi
    custodes sufferre valent; labat ariete crebro
    ianua, et emoti procumbunt cardine postes+.
    Fit via vi; rumpunt aditus, primosque trucidant
    495
    immissi Danai, et late loca milite complent.
    Non sic, aggeribus ruptis cum spumeus amnis+
    exiit, oppositasque+ evicit+ gurgite+ moles+,
    fertur in arva furens cumulo, camposque per omnis
    cum stabulis armenta trahit. Vidi ipse furentem
    500
    caede Neoptolemum geminosque in limine Atridas;
    vidi Hecubam centumque nurus, Priamumque per aras
    sanguine foedantem, quos ipse sacraverat, ignis.
    Quinquaginta illi thalami, spes tanta nepotum,
    barbarico postes auro spoliisque superbi,
    505
    procubuere; tenent Danai, qua deficit ignis.
