Aen. xii. 714: "Ac velut ingenti Sila summove Taburno Cum duo conversis inimica in proelia tauri Frontibus incurrunt, pavidi cessere magistri, Stat pecus omne metu mutum mussantque iuvencae, Quis nemori imperitet, quem tota armenta sequantur." Lucan's simile is borrowed largely from the Georgics.
And again, quum adspexeris quot te antecedent, cogita quot sequantur if a great many people appear to be better off than yourself, think how many there are in a worse position.
