(And provides a literal translation of his Latin back into English, for those who need an assist.)

Belgarum in campis ventosa papavera nutant,
statque crucum series, agmina longa, procul,
quae loca cuique notat; sonat acris in aethere alauda
vix audita volans, dum fera tela tonant.
Nos sumus, en, Manes; vivi modo sensimus ortum,
vidimus occiduum luce rubere diem;
dilecti dileximus; at nunc frigida morte
Belgarum in campis corpora nostra iacent.
Suscipite hanc litem contra hostem; lampada vobis
tradimus, o iuvenes, deficiente manu,
sublimemque manus vestra usque ad sidera tollat.
si nos, qui morimur, fallitis immemores,
non erit ulla quies, licet ipsa papavera crescant
Belgarum in campis sanguine tincta virum.

The US midterm election landslide that gives Democrats control of Congress starting is fueling questions about the longevity of the Supreme Court's two oldest justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, and the durability of its conservative majority reut.rs/4zli2k9
The races Reuters had said to watch. Democrats on left, Republicans on right.
Circled names are the winners. Circled states denote flip. Check marks are incumbents.
Some races still not called.
I had been expecting a good night for Dems, maybe a blue wave. Not a blue tsunami.
