  1. totasque in ignes vertit et quis plurimus
  2. exundat ignis repetit intrepidus ferox,
  3. tunc ora flammis implet: ast illi graves
  4. luxere barbae; cumque iam voltum minax
  5. appeteret ignis, lamberent flammae caput, ---
  6. non pressit oculos, sed quid hoc? maestam intuor
  7. sinu gerentem reliquias magni Herculis
  8. crinemque iactans squalidum Alcmene gemit.
Alcmena Hyllus
  1. Timete, superi, fata: tam parvus cinis
  2. Herculeus, huc huc ille decrevit gigans!
