Ille etiam Thebas spoliis et sanguine plenus isset et attonitis sese populoque ducique ostentasset ovans, ni tu, Tritonia virgo, flagrantem multaque operis caligine plenum consilio dignata virum: sate gente superbi Oeneos, absentes cui dudum vincere Thebas annuimus, iam pone modum nimiumque secundis parce deis: huic una fides optanda labori.
Replete with spoils and blood, Tydeus would have gone to Thebes and shown himself in triumph to people and ruler if you, Tritonian maid, had not deigned to counsel him, aflame as he was and quite dazed from his work: Offspring of proud Oeneus race, to whom I have just granted victory over absent Thebes, make now an end and spare the too favouring gods. Ask only that this exploit be believed.
