nam velut in summo quatientem bracchia Tauro quercum aut conigeram sudanti cortice pinum indomitus turbo contorquens flamine robur eruit (illa procul radicitus exturbata prona cadit, late quaeviscumque obvia frangens), sic domito saevum prostravit corpore Theseus nequiquam vanis iactantem cornua ventis.
For as a tree which waves its boughs on Taurus top, an oak or a cone-bearing pine with sweating bark, when a vehement storm twists the grain with its blast, and tears it up;'afar, wrenched up by the roots its lies prone, smashing over far and wide all it meets: so did Theseus overcome and lay low the bulk of the monster, vainly tossing his horns to the empty winds.
