ergo procul vacua concedit valle solumque ense fodit Stygio terraeque immurmurat absens nomen et (Elysiis signum indubitabile regnis) crinalem attollit longo stridore cerasten: caeruleae dux ille comae, quo protinus omnis horruit audito tellus pontusque polusque, et pater Aetnaeos iterum respexit ad ignes.

He was the leader of the cerulean tresses, and when they heard him, straightway all earth and sea and sky shuddered and the Father looked again to his Aetnean fires.
