[1]Seutlæus, through his heart piercing him, flew 261
Embasichytrus. [2]Polyphonus fell,
Pierced through his belly by the spear of bold
[3]Artophagus, and prone in dust expired.
Incensed at sight of Polyphonus slain, 265
Limnocharis at Troglodytes cast
A mill-stone weight of rock; full on the neck
He batter'd him, and darkness veil'd his eyes.
At him Lichenor hurl'd a glitt'ring lance,
Nor err'd, but pierced his liver. Trembling fled 270
[4]Crambophagus at that dread sight, and plunged
Over the precipice into the lake,
Yet even there found refuge none, for brave
Lichenor following, smote him even there.
So fell Crambophagus, and from that fall 275
Never arose, but redd'ning with his blood
The wave, and wallowing in the strings and slime
Of his own vitals, near the bank expired.
[5]Limnisius on the grassy shore struck down
[6]Tyroglyphus; but at the view alone 280
Of terrible [7]Pternoglyphus appall'd,
Fled [8]Calaminthius, cast away his shield
Afar, and headlong plunged into the lake.
[9]Hydrocharis with a vast stone assail'd
The King [10]Pternophagus; the rugged mass 285
Descending
