LXXVI

Virtus magna mihi: durus mollibor ab igni,
Cessantique foco fomes mihi vivus adhaeret:
Semper inest in me, sed raro cernitur ignis.

Peck:

Great virtue have I, hard, by fire made soft,
The fire, dead, I coax once more aloft,
For fire in me abides, though not discernèd oft.

Ohl:

Fire always lies within me, but it is rarely seen; for it lurks within, but comes forth in response to blows alone; it needs not wood to live nor water to perish.

Give up? Here's the answer.
