He said; and with his utmost force he threw

The massy spear, which, hissing as it flew,

Reached the celestial shield: that stopped the course;

But, glancing thence, the yet unbroken force

Took a new bent obliquely, and, betwixt

The side and bowels, famed Antores fixed.

Antores had from Argos travelled far,

Alcides' friend, and brother of the war;

Till, tired with toils, fair Italy he chose,

And in Evander's palace sought repose.
