ille, dolis instructus et arte Pelasga, sustulit exutas vinclis ad sidera palmas: vos, aeterni ignes, et non violabile vestrum testor numen, ait, vos arae ensesque nefandi, quos fugi, vittaeque deum, quas hostia gessi: fas mihi Graiorum sacrata resolvere iura,    fas odisse viros atque omnia ferre sub auras, si qua tegunt; teneor patriae nec legibus ullis.
the other, schooled in Pelasgian guile and craft, lifted to the stars his unfettered hands: You, everlasting fires, he cries, and your inviolable majesty, be my witness; you, altars, and accursed swords which I escaped, and chaplets of the gods, which I wore as victim, grant that I may rightly break my solemn obligations to the Greeks, rightly hate them and bring all things to light if they hide aught; nor am I bound by any laws of country.
