251 Corbulo vix ferret tot vasa ingēntĭă, tot res
252 inpositas capiti, quas recto vertice portat
253 servulus infelix et cursu ventilat ignem.
254 scinduntur tunicae sartae modo, longa coruscat
255 serraco veniente abies, atque altera pinum
256 plaustra vehunt; nutant alte populoque minantur.
- ASK populo - why not populum?
257 nam si procubuit qui saxa Ligustica portat

Don't you see in how much smoke the little basket is frequently visited?
A hundred banquets, its kitchen follows whomever.
Corbulus hardly would carry such huge equipment,
such things placed for the head, which an unlucky small slave
carries on his straight head and fans the fire with running.
The now-repaired tunics are torn, the long wood trembles
on the incoming wagon, and the second
wagon carries pine; they sway from above and threaten the people.
Since, if he who carries the chariot's Ligurian rocks fell forward,
and poured the overturned mountain over the lines of people,
what remains from the bodies? Who finds the limbs, who the bones?
Every crushed body of the crowd disappears
in the manner of spirits. Meanwhile the untroubled household
now washes its small dishes and rouses the fire with the cheek and make sounds
with the oily scrapers and places towels together for full oil-flasks.
These hurry in various ways between boys, but that guy
now sits in the shore, and, a newcomer, he fears the hideous
ferryman, and, unlucky, has no hope of the alderwood (boat) of the foul whirlpool
and he doesn't have (a coin), a third of which he would extend with his mouth.
