Those burning Titans, who with giant hands

May Pindus huge upheave, and Ossa too,1310

And overwhelm me with their crushing weight.

Let dire Bellona burst the bars of hell,

And with her gleaming weapon pierce my heart;

Or let fierce Mars be arméd for my death;

He is my brother; true, but Juno's son.

Thou also, sprung from father Jove, and so

Alcides' sister, bright Athene, come,1315

And hurl thy spear against thy brother's breast.
