vita miserandus inerti damnatur; trepido Tydeus immitia mandat: quisquis es Aonidum, quem crastina munere nostro manibus exemptum mediis Aurora videbit, haec iubeo perferre duci: cinge aggere portas, tela nova, fragiles aevo circum inspice muros, praecipue stipare viros densasque memento multiplicare acies.
Poor wretch, he is doomed to an unprofitable life. To him afraid Tydeus gives a pitiless charge: Whosoever you are of Aonias sons whom tomorrows dawn shall see saved from the midst of death by my grace, I command you to bring your lord this message: set a rampart round your gates, refurbish your weapons, look to the circuit of your walls grown frail with time, above all take care to group your men tightly and multiply dense ranks.
