And with fond force innocuous heals her ills;

She from her eyes in lucent drops distils

The stream of sorrowful shame,

And in her womb from Jove a burden bore,

A son of blameless fame,

Who with his prosperous life long blessed the Libyan shore.

From Jove it surely came,

This living root of a far-branching line!
