non mihi iam solito vatum de more canendum; maior ab Aoniis poscenda amentia lucis: mecum omnes audete deae! sive ille profunda missus nocte furor, Capaneaque signa secutae arma Iovem contra Stygiae rapuere Sorores, seu virtus egressa modum, seu gloria praeceps et magnae data fama neci, seu laeta malorum principia et blandae superum mortalibus irae.
No longer may I sing in the wonted fashion of poets; I must ask for a higher lunacy from Aonias groves. Goddesses all, dare with me. Was his frenzy sent from the depth of night, did the Stygian Sisters take arms against Jove following Capaneus standard? Or was it valour past bounds or reckless thirst for glory and fame granted to a great death or success the harbinger of disaster and the High Ones flattering mortals in their wrath?
