Ταῦτα μὲν εἶπον οἱ βασιλέως κήρυκες· οἱ δὲ Ἕλληνες βαρέως μὲν ἤκουσαν, όμως
2 δὲ Κλέαρχος τοσοῦτον εἶπεν, ὅτι οὐ τῶν νικώντων εἴη τὰ ὅπλα παραδιδόναι. Αλλ',
3 ἔφη, ὑμεῖς μέν, ὦ ἄνδρες στρατηγοί, τούτοις ἀποκρίνασθε ὅ τι κάλλιστόν τε καὶ
4 ἄριστον ἔχετε· ἐγὼ δὲ αὐτίκα ἥξω. Ἐκάλεσε γάρ τις αὐτὸν τῶν ὑπηρετῶν ὅπως
5 ἴδοι τὰ ἱερὰ ἐξῃρημένα· ἔτυχε γὰρ θυόμενος. Ἔνθα δὴ ἀπεκρίνατο Κλεάνωρ
6 μὲν ὁ ̓Αρκάς, πρεσβύτατος ὤν, ὅτι πρόσθεν ἂν ἀποθάνοιεν ἢ τὰ ὅπλα παραδοῖεν·
7 Πρόξενος δὲ ὁ Θηβαῖος, ̓Αλλ' ἐγώ, ἔφη, ὦ Φαλῖνε, θαυμάζω πότερα ὡς κρατῶν
8 βασιλεὺς αἰτεῖ τὰ ὅπλα ἢ ὡς διὰ φιλίαν δῶρα. Εἰ μὲν γὰρ ὡς κρατῶν, τί δεῖ αὐτὸν
9 αἰτεῖν καὶ οὐ λαβεῖν ἐλθόντα; εἰ δὲ πείσας βούλεται λαβεῖν, λεγέτω τί ἔσται τοῖς

Huic dea caeruleis unum de crinibus anguem
Conicit inque sinum praecordia ad intima subdit,
Quo furibunda domum monstro permisceat omnem.
Ille, inter vestes et levia pectora lapsus,
Volvitur attactu nullo fallitque furentem,
Vipeream inspirans animam; fit tortile collo
Aurum ingens coluber, fit longae taenia vittae,
Innectitque comas, et membris lubricus errat.
Ac dum prima lues udo sublapsa veneno
Pertemptat sensus atque ossibus implicat ignem,
Necdum animus toto percepit pectore flammam,
Mollius et solito matrum de more locuta est,

Multa super natae lacrimans Phrygiisque hymenaeis.

-VII, 346–358

Ille avidus pugnae suras incluserat auro

Hinc atque hinc oditque moras hastamque coruscat.
Postquam habilis lateri clipeus loricaque tergo est,
Ascanium fusis circum complectitur armis,
Summaque per galeam delibans oscula fatur:
'Disce, puer, virtutem ex me verumque laborem,
Fortunam ex aliis. Nunc te mea dextera bello
Defensum dabit et magna inter praemia ducet:
Tu facito, mox cum matura adoleverit aetas,

Sis memor, et te animo repetentem exempla tuorum

Et pater Aeneas et avunculus excitet Hector.'-XII, 430-440
