De Rerum Natura Lucretius Carus, Titus

Kitap 4

 
Succumb to capture, battle on the field,
 
Raise a wild cry as if their throats were cut 60
 
Even then and there. And many wrestle on
 
And groan with pains, and fill all regions round
 
With mighty cries and wild, as if then gnawed
 
By fangs of panther or of lion fierce.
 
Many amid their slumbers talk about 65
 
Their mighty enterprises, and have often
 
Enough become the proof of their own crimes.
 
Many meet death; many, as if headlong
 
From lofty mountains tumbling down to earth
 
With all their frame, are frenzied in their fright; 70
 
And after sleep, as if still mad in mind,
 
They scarce come to, confounded as they are
 
By ferment of their frame. The thirsty man,
 
Likewise, he sits beside delightful spring
 
Or river and gulpeth down with gaping throat 75
 
Nigh the whole stream. And oft the innocent young,
 
By sleep o'ermastered, think they lift their dress
 
By pail or public jordan and then void
