  1. insequitur ignem. Caucasum aut Pindum aut Athon
  2. ardere credas: nullus erumpit sonus,

  5. gemuisset ipse quique convulsam solo
  6. imposuit umeris Ossan Enceladus ferox;

  8. semiustus ac laniatus, intrepidum tuens:
  9. 'nunc es parens Herculea: sic stare ad rogum
  10. te, mater' inquit, 'sic decet Heri Herculem.'
