prima Hecate Stygiis duratam fontibus harpen intulit et validas scopulis effodit aristas; mox famulae monstrata seges, quae lampade Phoebes sub decima iuga feta metit saevitque per omnes relliquias saniemque dei; gemit inritus ille Colchidos ora tuens; toto tunc contrahit artus monte dolor cunctaeque tremunt sub falce catenae.
Hecate first, plying a blade that Stygian springs had hardened, tore forth the strong stalk from the rocks; then showed she the plant to her handmaid, who beneath the tenth shining of Phoebes light reaps the harvest of the mountain-side and rages madly among all the gory relics of the god; fruitlessly doth he groan, beholding the face of the Colchian maid; then over all the mountain pain contracts his limbs, and all his fetters shake beneath her sickle.
