And she, embracing with the king of gods

And men, bore Mars, and [237]Hebe, and Lucina.

He from his head disclosed himself to birth

The blue-eyed maid, Tritonian [238]Pallas; fierce,

Rousing the war-field’s tumult; unsubdued;

Leader of armies; awful: whom delight

The shout of battle and the shock of war.

Without th’ embrace of love did Juno bear

[239]Illustrious Vulcan, o’er celestials graced

With arts: and strove contending with her spouse
