tellus, atro exundante vapore suspirans ustisque diu calefacta medullis, aestuat et Stygios exhalat in aera flatus; parturit et tremulis metuendum exsibilat antris, interdumque cavas luctatus rumpere sedes aut exire fretis, sonitu lugubre minaci Mulciber immugit lacerataque viscera terrae mandit et exesos labefactat murmure montes.
A black steam rises from the ground; and the earth, long heated by subterranean fires, rumbles and heaves and sends up blasts from Hell into the air. Mulciberb is in labour and sends forth a dread sound of hissing from his uneasy caves. At times he struggles to burst his caverns or emerge from the sea; then he sends forth a mournful and menacing rumbling and devours the torn bowels of the earth, and mutters as he undermines the crumbling mountains.
