nunc ligat ad caestum gaudentia bracchia loris, missile nunc disci pondus in orbe rotat, 15 et modo Taygeti, crinis aspersa pruina, 16 sectatur patrios per iuga longa canes: gyrum pulsat equis, niveum latus ense revincit, virgineumque cavo protegit aere caput, qualis Amazonidum nudatis bellica mammis Thermodontiacis turba lavatur aquis; qualis et Eurotae Pollux et Castor harenis, hic victor pugnis, ille futurus equis, inter quos Helene nudis capere arma papillis fertur nec fratres erubuisse deos.
now she binds the glove to her arms that rejoice in its thongs, now whirls in a circle the flying weight of the discus, and now, hoarfrost sprinkling her hair, she follows her fathers hounds over the long ridges of Taygetus: her horses hooves thud round the ring, she girds the sword to her snowy hips, and shields her virgin head with hollowed bronze, like the warlike throng of Amazons with breasts exposed that bathe in the waters of the Thermodon; and like Castor and Pollux on the banks of the Eurotas, Pollux to be a champion at boxing, Castor in horsemanship, with whom Helen, her bosom bare, is said to have borne arms and not to have blushed with shame in front of her divine brothers.
