3 a strepitu pompæ armorum, et bellatorum ejus, a commotione quadrigarum ejus, et multitudine rotarum illius. Non respexerunt patres filios manibus dissolutis,	3 at the thunder of his chargers' hoofs, the crash of his chariots, the grinding of his wheels. Fathers forgetabout their children, their hands fal limp
