LXV

Saepta gravi ferro, levibus circumdata pinnis
Aera per medium volucri contendo meatu,
Missaque descendens nullo mittente revertor.

Peck:

With heavy iron bound and feathers light,
Through middle air I hold my rapid flight,
Sent upward I return without a sender's might.

Ohl:

Bound round with heavy iron, with feathers light encircled, through air's midst I speed in winged flight, and when sent, departing I return, though no one sends me back.

Give up? Here's the answer.
