corpora tunc atque arma simul cumulata superstans incipit (oranti nox et iuga longa resultant): diva ferox, magni decus ingeniumque parentis, bellipotens, cui torva genis horrore decoro cassis, et asperso crudescit sanguine Gorgon, nec magis ardentes Mavors hastataque pugnae impulerit Bellona tubas, huic annue sacro, seu Pandionio nostras invisere caedes monte venis, sive Aonia devertis Itone laeta choris, seu tu Libyco Tritone repexas lota comas, quo te biiugo temone frementem intemeratarum volucer rapit axis equarum: nunc tibi fracta virum spolia informesque dicamus exuvias.
Then standing over the bodies and piled weaponry he begins'night and the long ridges echo his speech: Fierce goddess, glory and wit of your great father, mighty in war, on whose cheeks sits the grim helm in fearful beauty, as the blood-bespattered Gorgon glowers (nor would Mars and Bellona spear-armed for battle rouse more fiery trumpet blasts), favour this rite'whether you come from Pandions mount to witness my carnage or turn aside from Aonian Itone,  dance-lover, or comb back your hair washed in Libyan Triton, whither bear you as you clamour the swift wheels of your inviolate mares in your pair-drawn chariot: now do I dedicate to you broken spoils of warriors, shapeless trophies.
