{ The wondering neighbourhood, with glad surprise,

{ Beheld his shagged breast, his giant size,

{ His mouth that flames no more, and his extinguished eyes.

From that auspicious day, with rites divine,

We worship at the hero's holy shrine.

Potitius first ordained these annual vows:

As priests, were added the Pinarian house,

Who raised this altar in the sacred shade,

Where honours, ever due, for ever shall be paid.
