nec minus in scopulos crudique cacumina saxi emicat Alcides vinclisque tenentibus aufert virgineas de rupe manus aptatque superbis arma umeris; regem inde petens superabat ovante litora tuta gradu, qualis per pascua victor ingreditur, tum colla tumens, tum celsior armis taurus, ubi adsueti pecoris stabula alta revisit et patrium nemus et bello quos ultus amores.
Straightway too Hercules springs up the crags to the top of the harsh rock, and frees the maidens hands from the fetters that bind her to the cliff, and girds his armour on his vaunting shoulders. Thence with triumphant steps he passes across the safe shore to meet the king; even as through the pastures stalks the victorious bull, with swelling neck and towering shoulders, when he returns to the high fold of the herd he knows, and the woods of his home and the loved one he has avenged in battle.
