  1. And the swift Gallae follow fain their first and fleet-foot guide.
  2. But when the home of Cybele they make with toil out-worn
  3. O'er much, they lay them down to sleep and gifts of Ceres scorn;
  4. Till heavy slumbers seal their eyelids langourous, drooping lowly,
  5. And raving frenzy flies each brain departing softly, slowly.
