huc illuc impellit Adrastus exploratores, si stagna Licymnia restent, () si quis Amymones superet liquor: omnia caecis ignibus hausta sedent, nec spes umentis Olympi, ceu flavam Libyen desertaque pulveris Afri collustrent nullaque umbratam nube Syenen.
Adrastus sends scouts this way and that; are the Licymnian meres  still there, does any of Amymones water survive? All stagnate, drained by hidden fires, nor is there hope of a watery sky. They might as well scour yellow Libya and the sandy deserts of Africa and Syene that no cloud ever shades.
