Reading edition
“Mobile ponderibus descendat Pegma reductis Inque chori speciem, spargentes ardua flammas Scena rotet: varios effingat Mulciber orbes Per tabulas impune vagus, pictæque citato Ludant igne trabes, et non permissa morari Fida per innocuas errent incendia turres.” (Claudianus, De Consulatu Mallii. v. 325.)
