hic non femineae subitum virtutis amorem colligit Argia, sexuque immane relicto tractat opus: placet (egregii spes dura pericli) comminus infandi leges accedere regni, quo Rhodopes non ulla nurus nec alumna nivosi Phasidis innuptis vallata cohortibus iret.
Here Argia conceives a sudden passion for unwomanly courage and engages in monstrous work, abandoning her sex. She resolves (stubborn hope of noble peril) to confront head on the laws of the impious monarchy,  where no bride of Rhodope, no nursling of snowy Phasis flanked by virgin cohorts  would go.
