301Dixerat haec Tellus: neque enim tolerare vaporem
302ulterius potuit nec dicere plura: suumque
303rettulit os in se propioraque manibus antra.
304At pater omnipotens, superos testatus et ipsum,
305qui dederat currus, nisi opem ferat, omnia fato
306interitura gravi, summam petit arduus arcem,
307unde solet nubes latis inducere terris,
308unde movet tonitrus vibrataque fulmina iactat.
309Sed neque quas posset terris inducere nubes
310tunc habuit, nec quos caelo demitteret imbres.
311Intonat et dextra libratum fulmen ab aure
312misit in aurigam pariterque animaque rotisque
313expulit et saevis compescuit ignibus ignes.
314Consternantur equi et saltu in contraria facto
315colla iugo eripiunt abruptaque lora relinquunt.
