Whatever region Tethys laves

In her long reach has been o'ercome

By great Alcides' toils. Borne now

Across the shoals of Tartarus,

With hell subdued, he comes again.890

No room is left for fear; for what

Beyond the world of death remains?

And now ye priests, adorn your bristling hair

With poplar which Alcides loves to wear.
