Solverat Hesperii devexo margine ponti flagrantes Sol pronus equos rutilamque lavabat Oceani sub fonte comam; cui turba profundi Nereos et rapidis accurrunt passibus Horae, frenaque et auratae textum sublime coronae deripiunt, laxant calidis umentia loris pectora; pars meritos vertunt ad molle iugales gramen et erecto currum temone supinant.
The sinking Sun had loosed his fiery steeds at the sloping edge of the western sea and was bathing his ruddy hair in Oceans fount. To him run deep Nereus throng and the swift-stepping Hours. They strip away the reins and the lofty texture of his golden crown and relieve his sweating breast from the hot straps. Some turn the faithful horses to soft pasture and set the chariot on its back, pole in the air.
