Lātōna et Niobē (Pars Secunda)
Dea Lātōna erat maximē īrāta. Līberōs, Phoebum et Dānam, convocat et longam fābulam dē fēminā superbā nārrat. dīxit ita māater: “Populus templum meum nōn honōrat. Factum populī est profānum. Ō Phoebe et Dīāna, līberī meī, iuvāte mē!
Deinda Phoebus dīxit: “Satis! Longa querella est mora poenae.” Tum celeriter Dīāna, et Phoebus per aëra ad rēgiam rēgīnae volant.
Campus plānus erat prope moenia rēgiae. Hīc, dum fīliī rēgīnae equōs suōs exercent, Phoebus septem fīliōs necat. Puerōs sagittīs necat. Fāma factī malī et lacrimae amīcōrum rēgīnae fābulam ruīnae nārrant. “Ō Lātōna,” dīxit Niobē, “septem fūnera habeō, sed etiam mihi sunt plūs quam tibi. Etiam septem fīliās habeō.”
Nunc Lātōna erat iterum īrāta. Fīliam Dīānam vocat, “Iuvā mē, Dīāna!” dīxit Lātōna. Et Dīāna sex fīliās necat. Nunc Niobē potentiam Lātōnae videt. Niobē lacrimīs multīs vītam ūltimae fīliae rogat. “Relinque ūnam minimamque,” clamat. Sed Dīāna ūltimam fīliam quoque sagittā necat. Dum Niobē lacrimat, in statuam congelat; etiam nunc lacrimae mānant.
