inde cuncta despiciens, ibidem pinnarum remittens indefessa remigia, ac paulisper cunctabundo volatu paene eodem loco pendula circumtuetur, et quaerit quorsus potissimum in praedam superne sese ruat fulminis vicem; de caelo improvisa, simul campis pecua, simul montibus feras, simul homines urbibus uno obtutu sub eodem impetu cernens, unde rostro transfodiat, unde unguibus inuncet vel agnum incuriosum vel leporem meticulosum vel quodcumque esui animatum vel laniatui fors obtulit.
from there he looks down on everything, tirelessly plying his outspread wings and, briefly suspended with a lazy motion in almost the same place, he gazes around and wonders where best to swoop down from above on his prey like a thunderbolt; unnoticed from above, he simultaneously observes cattle in the fields, wild beasts on the mountains, human beings in the cities, in one sweep of a single glance looking for the place where to impale with his beak or grasp with his talons an unsuspecting lamb, a cowering hare, or whatever living thing chance has offered for him to devour or dismember.
