Pugna Murium et Mustelarum
Cum victi mures mustelarum exercitu
(historia, quorum et, in tabernis pingitur)
fugerent et artos circum trepidarent cavos,
aegre recepti, tamen evaserunt necem:
duces eorum, qui capitibus cornua
suis ligarant ut conspicuum in proelio
haberent signum quod sequerentur milites,
haesere in portis suntque capti ab hostibus;
quos immolatos victor avidis dentibus
capacis alvi mersit tartareo specu.
Quemcumque populum tristis eventus premit,
periclitatur magnitudo principum,
minuta plebes facili praesidio latet.
Text: Giannina Solimano, Fedro: Favole (Rome: Garzanti, 1996)
