simul haec dicens crinemque manumque destruit, accensaque iterat violentius ira: saevum agedum immitemque vocent si funera Lernae tecum ardere veto; longos utinam addere sensus corporibus caeloque animas Ereboque nocentes pellere fas, ipsumque feras, ipsum unca volucrum ora sequi atque artus regum monstrare nefandos! ei mihi, quod positos humus alma diesque resolvet! quare iterum repetens iterumque edico: suprema ne quis ope et flammis ausit iuvisse Pelasgos; aut nece facta luet numeroque explebit adempta corpora.
Thus saying, he strips head and hand and, his wrath kindling, speaks again more violently: Come, let them call me cruel and merciless if I forbid Lernas dead to burn with you. Would it were given me to add long sensation to their bodies and drive their guilty souls from heaven and Erebus, and myself to seek wild beasts and hooked beaks of birds and show them the accursed limbs of the kings! Alas that kindly soil and time shall resolve them where they lie! So again I repeat it, again I announce: Let none dare to give succour to the Pelasgi with aiding flames! Else he shall expiate his deed with his death and make up for the bodies he takes with his own.
