What spotted tigress, suckled thee?150
Impervious to wounds is he.
Sharp spears are blunted, steel is bent
Against his heart; and glittering swords,
Upon his naked members struck,
In broken fragment drop apart;
Stones strike, but harmlessly rebound.
And so he scorns the deadly fates,155
And, all invincible, provokes
His death. No spears can pierce his heart,
