victa retro nunc castra dabit bellumque remittet territus adventu ducis et virtute Pelasgi: mox ubi Thessalicis referent hos flamina terris, tunc aderit victorque domos et sceptra tenebit, donec et Aeeten inopis post longa senectae exilia (heu magnis quantum luet impia fatis) nata iuvet Graiusque nepos in regna reponat.
At first will he move backward his stricken camp and abandon the war, terrified by the approach and valour of the Pelasgian chief; soon when the breezes waft these heroes back to Thessalian lands, he will return and in triumph hold the sceptre and the kingdom, until his daughter (ah, what atonement will she pay to the mighty fates for her impiety!) bring Aeetes aid, when in long exile he hath spent a helpless old age, and a Grecian grandson place him on his throne once more.
