prohibebat iniquo agmine consertum cunei latus; inde superbus exseruit patriis electum missile ripis, ac prius: Aonidum dives largitor aquarum, clare Giganteis etiamnum, Asope, favillis, da numen dextrae: rogat hoc natusque tuique quercus alumna vadi; fas et me spernere Phoebum, si tibi collatus divum sator.
A serried wedge of enemy warriors barred his way. Then proudly he took out a missile culled from his fathers banks, and first: Rich donor of Aonian streams, Asopos, famous yet for ashes as of Giants,  give deity to my right hand. Your son asks this and the oak  nursling of your stream. I too may despise Phoebus if the Father of the gods was matched with you.
