Illam diva ferox etiamnum in limine sacro expositam et gelidas verrentem crinibus aras linquit, et in mediis frondentem Maenalon astris exsuperat gressu saltumque ad moenia Cadmi destinat, interior caeli qua semita lucet dis tantum, et cunctas iuxta videt ardua terras.
The fierce goddess leaves her still prostrate on the sacred threshold, sweeping the chill altar with her hair. Stepping out, she clears leafy Maenalos in mid heaven and points her leap to Cadmus walls, where the skys inner path shines for gods only, and sees all lands together from the height.
