huc ubi devectam Neptunus gurgite puppem sensit et extremum nati prospexit in oras et quondam laetos domini certamine campos, ingemit ac tales evolvit pectore questus: infelix imas quondam mihi rapta sub undas, nec potius magno, Melie, tum mixta Tonanti! usque adeone meam quacumque ab origine prolem tristia fata manent? sic te olim pergere sensi, Iuppiter, iniustae quando mihi virginis armis concidit infelix et nunc chaos implet Orion.
When Neptune saw the vessel borne hither upon the flood and for the last time looked upon his sons domain and the fields that once rejoiced in their masters contests, he sighed and poured from his heart such plaints as these: Melie, tis pity thou wast long ago carried off by me beneath the waves, and didst not rather yield to the Thunderer! So utterly then does a sad fate await my offspring, from whomsoever born? Ere now have I known thee so to act, O Jupiter, when hapless Orion fell by the cruel virgins shaft and now fills Chaos.
