iam prior Oeclides et iam non tertius ibat Admetus, laxo cum denique ab orbe reductus aequoreus sonipes premit evaditque parumper gavisos; subit astra fragor, caelumque tremescit, omniaque excusso patuere sedilia vulgo.
Now Oecles son was ahead and Admetus no longer running third, when finally back from a wide circuit the horse of the sea presses and passes both; short-lived their joy. A roar goes up to the stars, the sky trembles and every seat shows bare as the multitude jumps to its feet.
