tempus erit, cum Pierio tua fortior oestro facta canam: nunc tendo chelyn; satis arma referre Aonia et geminis sceptrum exitiale tyrannis nec furiis post fata modum flammasque rebelles seditione rogi tumulisque carentia regum funera et egestas alternis mortibus urbes, caerula cum rubuit Lernaeo sanguine Dirce et Thetis arentes assuetum stringere ripas horruit ingenti venientem Ismenon acervo.
A time will come when stronger in Pierian frenzy I shall sing your deeds. For now I but tune my lyre; enough to recount Aonian arms, sceptre fatal to tyrants twain, fury outlasting death and flames renewing battle in the strife of the pyre,  kings bodies lacking burial, and cities emptied by mutual slaughter, when Dirces blue water blushed with Lernaean blood and Thetis was aghast at Ismenos, as wont to skirt dry banks he came on in a mighty heap.
