Nor thy resistless arm the bull withstood,

Nor he, the roaring terror of the wood.

}

{ The triple porter of the Stygian seat,

{ With lolling tongue, lay fawning at thy feet,

{ And, seized with fear, forgot his mangled meat.

The infernal waters trembled at thy sight;

Thee, god! no face of danger could affright;

Not huge Typhöeus, nor the unnumbered snake,

Increased with hissing heads, in Lerna's lake.
