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
