But when I gained the youthful garb of flesh,

The labors I endured—what need to tell?

What lions ever, or three-bodied brutes,

Tuphons or giants, or the four-legg'd swarms

Of Kentaur-battle, did not I end out?

And that hound, headed all about with heads

Which cropped up twice, the Hudra, having slain—

I both went through a myriad other toils

In full drove, and arrived among the dead

To convoy, as Eurustheus bade, to light
