Original Text :
Sed victi luctum variantes clade suorum,
Pars interfectos sepelit, pars membra levavit
Saucia vivorum curas habitura suorum.
Corpora vix placidae componunt fessa quieti,
Cum descendentes e moenibus Arcipolenses
Irrumpunt iterum castris somnoque iacentes
Caedunt atque fugant, armis et equis spoliabant,
Circum castra sitas incendunt undique villas.
