Round Goes The Gossip

Extemplo libyae magnas it fama per urbes,

Fama, malum qua non aliud velocius ullum.

Mobilitate viget virisque adquirit eundo;

Parva metu primo, mox sese attollit in auras.

Ingrediturque solo et caput inter nubila condit.

Forthwith rumour runs through libya's great cities-

Rumour of all evils the most swift.

Speed lends her strength, and she wins vigour as she

goes;

Small at first through fear, soon she mounts up to

heaven,

And walks the ground with head hidden in the clouds.
