IACULA FRACTA IACENT QVE OMISERAT IRA CONTRA PACIENTIAM
Previous      Next

Prouida nam Virtus conserto adamante trilicem
induerat thoraca umeris squamosaque ferri
texta per intortos conmiserat undique neruos.
inde quieta manet Patientia, fortis ad omnes
nec mota est iaculo monstri sine more furentis,
opperiens propriis perituram uiribus Iram.

barbara bellatrix inpenderat et iaculorum
nube superuacuam lassauerat inrita dextram,
cum uentosa leui cecidissent tela uolatu,
iactibus et uacuis hastilia fracta iacerent,

The breastplate (thoraca) is described as scaly iron (squamosaque ferri).
