Ut vero aequoreus quercum Marathonida Theseus extulit, erectae cuius crudelis in hostes umbra cadit campumque trucem lux cuspidis implet, ceu pater Edonios Haemi de vertice Mavors impulerit currus, rapido mortemque fugamque axe vehens, sic exanimes in terga reducit pallor Agenoridas; taedet fugientibus uti Thesea, nec facilem dignatur dextra cruorem.
But sea-born Theseus held forth his Marathonian oak; raised high, its cruel shadow falls upon the enemy and the gleam of the point fills the grim battlefield; as though father Mavors were driving his Edonian chariot from Haemus summit bearing death and rout on his rapid wheels, so pale terror leads back the panicking sons of Agenor. Theseus is weary of dealing with fugitives and his hand disdains easy blood.
