In hardy conflict brave the Titan foe.”

He said: the gods, the givers of all good,

Heard with acclaim: nor ever till that hour

So burn’d each breast with ardour to destroy.

All on that day stirr’d up the mighty strife,

Female and male: Titanic gods, and sons

And daughters of old Saturn; and that band

Of giant brethren, whom, from forth th’ abyss

Of darkness under earth, deliverer Jove

Sent up to light: grim forms and strong, with force
