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?’

De subite frayeur.
Quant Pan parmy les bois cornoit,
Il faisoit bruit en telle sorte,
Que tous les Tytans estonnoit:
Et fasoit fuyr par cohorte.
De quoy il prenoit gloire forte:
Disant dorgueil & cueur enfle:
Qui est ce qui tel paour & bruit porte?
Qui est ce qui a ainsi souffle?
1. Faunus is here equated with Pan, the half-goat rustic god ([FALb091]), 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.
