At tuba terribilem sonitum procul aere canoro Increpuit, sequitur clamor caelumque remugit.
And now the trumpets terribly, from far,
With rattling clangor, rouse the sleepy war.
The soldiers' shouts succeed the brazen sounds;
And heaven, from pole to pole, the noise rebounds.
Lines 503–504 (translated by John Dryden).
