ea Neptuno trux ipse parenti sacrifici pro rupe iugi media aequora supra torquet agens; sin forma viris praestantior adsit, tum legere arma iubet sumptisque occurrere contra caestibus; haec miseris sors est aequissima leti.
Them doth the cruel monarch himself on the rocky verge of a sacrificial ridge, that looms above mid-sea, take and hurl down in offering to his father Neptune; but should the men be of finer build, then he bids them take arms and meet him with the gauntlets; that for the hapless men is the fairest doom of death.
