en quam ferale putemus abiurasse sacrum et Lemni gentilibus unam immunem furiis! haec illa (et creditis) ausa, haec pietate potens solis abiecit in arvis, non regem dominumque, alienos impia partus, hoc tantum, silvaeque infamis tramite liquit, quem non anguis atrox (quid enim hac opus, ei mihi, leti mole fuit?), tantum caeli violentior aura impulsaeque Noto frondes cassusque valeret exanimare timor.
Look at her, this woman who we are to think abjured the deadly covenant, alone immune from the madness of her fellow Lemnians; this woman who thus dared (and you believe her  ), this woman, so strong in her devotion, undutifully cast off in a lonely field'I say not king or master but anothers child, just that, and left him on a track in an ill-famed wood. No frightful snake'what need, alas, for such a mass of death?'but merely a breeze blowing strong or leaves shaken by the wind or idle terror might have been enough to cause his end.
