LXVI

De pecudis dorso pecudes ego terreo cunctas,
Obsequium reddens memorata lege doloris;
Nec volo contemni sed contra nolo nocere.

Peck:

From cattle's backs, of cattle's backs the bane,
I teach obedience by the law of pain,
I'll not be scorned, nor yet to hurt am fain.

Ohl:

I who come from cattle's backs am the terror of all cattle, forcing obedience by the well-remembered law of pain. I do not wish to be despised, but on the contrary I do not wish to harm.

Give up? Here's the answer.
