si Pelopis duros prior Hippodamia labores expediit totque ora simul vulgata procorum respiciens tandem patrios exhorruit axes, si dedit ipsa neci fratrem Minoia virgo: cur non hospitibus fas sit succurrere dignis te quoque et Aeaeos iubeas mitescere campos? occidat aeterna tandem Cadmeia morte iam seges et viso fumantes hospite tauri
If Hippodamia of old made easy the stern task of Pelops, and seeing so many suitors heads exposed at last felt horror of her fathers chariot, if the Minoan maid did her own brother to death, why shouldst not thou righteously succour worthy strangers, and bid the Aeaean fields grow more merciful? Let Cadmus harvest sink now in eternal death at last, and the bulls that breathe flame when they espy a stranger.
