decus ille et laeta suorum gloria nec vestros comes aspernandus in actus, Hesionam et Phrygiae peteret cum gaudia nuptae, hic Amycum contra iussus stetit atque ego palmas implicui; sed prima procul vixdum ora levantis fulminea frontem dextra disiectaque fudit lumina; me numquam leto dignatus et armis, sed lacrimis potius luctuque absumor inerti.
The pride and glory he of his comrades, nor one that you might despise as a partner of your deeds. In search for Hesione and the enjoyment of a Phrygian bride he was bidden stand against Amycus, and I it was who enlaced his hands; but scarce had he drawn nigh and lifted his head when the other with lightning blow dashed out the eyes from his shattered brow; me he never deemed worthy of a violent death, rather do I consume myself with tears and helpless sorrow.
