Rage finds them arms.

But then, if they chance to see a man among them,

whose devotion and public service lend him weight,

they stand there, stock-still with their ears alert as

he rules their furor with his words and calms their passion.

In the original (Latin)

Furor arma ministrat;

Tum, pietate gravem ac meritis si forte virum quem

conspexere, silent, arrectisque auribus adstant;

ille regit dictis animos, et pectora mulcet.
