sequitur per moenia demens ille deam et fatis extrema in proelia tendit; qualis in Alciden et Thesea Rhoetus iniqui nube meri geminam Pholoen maioraque cernens astra ruit, qualisve redit venatibus actis lustra pater Triviamque canens umeroque Learchum advehit, at miserae declinant lumina Thebae.
He distraught follows the goddess along the city walls, onward to the fight that was to be his last: even as Rhoetus, clouded with excess of wine and seeing Pholoe double and the stars larger than their wont, rushed upon Alcides and Theseus, or as that father, his hunting done, came home singing of the wild beasts lairs and of Diana, as he bore Learchus body on his shoulders, while sorrowing Thebes turned away its gaze.
