Quaerere templorum regem vix coeperat ales Maenalius, tremit ecce solum et mugire refractis corniger Hebrus aquis; tunc quod pecus utile bello vallem infestabat, trepidas spumare per herbas, signa adventantis, clausaeque adamante perenni dissiluere fores.
Scarce had the winged Maenalian begun to look for the king of the temple when, see, the ground quakes and horned Hebrus bellows as his waters are broken back.  Then the beasts useful in war  that infested the valley foamed in the quivering grasses, sign of his coming, and the closed gates of everlasting adamant flew open.
