hunc aspernantem tumido nova pondera tergo (unam quippe manum domitis expertus ab annis) corripit affaturque: quid o nova fata recusas, infelix sonipes? nusquam tibi dulce superbi regis onus; non iam Aetolo spatiabere campo gaudentemque iubam per stagna Acheloia solves.
As he rejects a new weight on his proud back (for since the years of his taming he had known one hand only), the hero  seizes him and speaks to him: Unhappy steed, why do you refuse new destiny? Never more for you the sweet burden of your proud king. No more will you pace the Aetolian plain or loose your rejoicing mane in the pools of Achelous.
