ecce quierant iurgia, cum mediis Capaneus auditus in astris: nullane pro trepidis, clamabat, numina Thebis statis? ubi infandae segnes telluris alumni, Bacchus et Alcides? piget instigare minores: tu potius venias (quis enim concurrere nobis dignior?); en cineres Semelaeaque busta tenentur!.
Behold, the wrangling had subsided, when Capaneus is heard in mid heaven: Do none of you deities, he roars, take stand for trembling Thebes? Where are the sluggish nurslings of the accursed land, Bacchus and Alcides? It irks me to urge inferiors; come you rather, for who is worthier to meet me? See, Semeles ashes and tomb are mine.
