Anger hits Patience with her sword


PACIENTIAM IRA PERCVTIT GLADIO
Previous      Next
Uertitur ad capulum manus inproba et ense corusco
conisa in plagam dextra sublimis ab aure
erigitur mediumque ferit librata cerebrum.
aerea sed cocto cassis formata metallo
tinnitum percussa refert aciemque retundit
dura resultantem, frangit quoque uena rebellis
inlisum chalybem, dum cedere nescia cassos
excipit adsultus ferienti et tuta resistit.
