Iamque intra muros nullo sudore receptum gaudentes heroa ferunt: abscesserat ultro Tantalidum venerata cohors; subit agmine longo colla inter iuvenum, laetisque favoribus omni concinitur vulgo Cadmum atque Amphiona supra conditor; hi sertis, hi veris honore soluto accumulant artus patriaque in sede reponunt corpus adoratum.
And now rejoicing they bear the hero within the walls, recovered with no labour. The Tantalid army had withdrawn of its own accord, in reverence. He comes in a long procession on the necks of warriors, and all the folk with happy favour sing him as their founder above Cadmus and Amphion. Some heap his limbs with garlands, some with loose beauty of spring, and place the venerated body in his ancestral tomb.
