"but ere a torch our crown of towers could burn, ere they had tasted of our blood, they turn forced by the dragon; in their rear the din of ares panic-struck they hear. for zeus who hates the braggarts boast beheld that gold-bespangled host; as at the goal the paean they upraise, he struck them with his forked lightning blaze."

"to earthly from earth rebounding, down he crashed; the fire-brand from his impious hand was dashed, as like bacchic reveler on he came, outbreathing hate and flame, and tottered. elsewhere in the field, here, there, great area like a war-horse wielded; beneath his car down thrust our foreman bit the dust."

"seven captains at our seven gates thundered; for each a champion weights, each left behind his armor bright, trophy for zeus who turns the fight; save two alone, that ill-stared pair one mother to one father bare, who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother."

"now victory to thebes returns again and smiles upon her chariot-circled plain. now let feast and festal should memories of war blot out. let us to the temples throng, dance and sing the live night long. god of the best, lead thou the round. bacchus, shaker of the ground! "
