Ipse denique Hercules invictus (quoniam haec tibi ut quaedam mendicabula nimis sordent), ipse, inquam, Hercules lustrator orbis, purgator ferarum, gentium domitor, is tamen deus, cum terras peragraret, paulo prius quam in caelum ob virtutes ascitus est, neque una pelli vestitior fuit neque uno baculo comitatior.
The invincible Hercules himself'since you find the former things disgusting, beggars baggage as it were'Hercules himself, I repeat, who cleansed the world, expelled wild animals, defeated savage tribes, nonetheless while roaming the earth shortly before he was summoned to the skies because of his virtues'that god was dressed only in a single pelt and accompanied only by a single staff.
