signa pavent, siluere tubae, stupefactaque Martis cornua; ter nigris avidus regnator ab oris intonuit terque ima soli concussit, et ipsi armorum fugere dei: nusquam incluta Virtus, restinxit Bellona faces, longeque paventes Mars rapuit currus, et Gorgone cruda virago abstitit, inque vicem Stygiae subiere sorores.
The standards are afraid, the trumpets silent, the horns of Mars dumbfounded. Thrice from the realms of darkness thundered their greedy ruler, thrice he shocked earths foundations, the very gods of battle fled. Valour renowned vanished, Bellona put her torches out, Mars drove his frightened chariot far away, the Maiden  rough with her Gorgon stood aside, and in their place came  the Stygian Sisters.
