hoc tunc Argolicae sanctum velamine matres induerant ebur, et lacrimis questuque rogabant: aspice sacrilegas Cadmeae paelicis arces, siderei regina poli, tumulumque rebellem disice et in Thebas aliud (potes) excute fulmen.
With this garment the Argive matrons then veiled the holy ivory and made their plea with tears and complaining: Look upon the sacrilegious towers of the Cadmean paramour,  Queen of starry heaven, and break up the rebel mound,  and shake out against Thebes (you can!) another thunderbolt.
