Dentibus innumeris sum toto corpore plena,
Frondicomas suboles morsu depascor acuto,
Mando tamen frustra, quod respuo praemia dentis.

Peck:

By countless teeth is all my body lined,
The forest's sons I fell with bite unkind,
And yet in vain I eat, I throw it all behind.

Ohl:

With countless teeth my body's lengths wholly filled. A leaf-tressed race I feed upon with sharp bite; yet I chew in vain, because the booty of my teeth I spew out again.

Give up? Here's the answer.
