Through magic arts won the Golden Fleece,
Sowing the plain with the old serpent's teeth,
To engender soldiers from the furrow's store,
This city, that in youthful season bore
A Hydra's nest of warriors, raised a yeast
Of brave nurslings, who their proud glory saw
Fill the Sun's mansions, to the west and east:
But in the end, lacking a Hercules
To vanquish so fecund a progeny,
Arming themselves in civil enmity,
Mowed each other down, a cruel harvest,
Reliving thus the fraternal harsh unrest
Which had blinded that proud seeded army.
