In subitum terrorem.
Sudden terror
Effuso cernens fugientes agmine turmas,
Quis mea nunc inflat cornua? Faunus[1] ait.
Seeing the squadrons fleeing, their line in disarray, ‘Who now’, said Faunus, ‘is sounding my trumpets?’
1. Faunus is here equated with Pan, the half-goat rustic god (see [A51a097]), accredited with the invention of the horn or military trumpet, and responsible for unexplained ‘panic’ terrors seizing man and beast, especially on the battle-field and in wild lonely places. See Erasmus, Adagia 2603, Panicus casus.
