547Interea Theseus sociati parte laboris
548functus Erechtheas Tritonidos ibat ad arces.
549Clausit iter fecitque moras Achelous eunti
550imbre tumens. “Succede meis,” ait “inclite, tectis,
551Cecropida, nec te committe rapacibus undis:
552ferre trabes solidas obliquaque volvere magno
553murmure saxa solent. Vidi contermina ripae
554cum gregibus stabula alta trahi: nec fortibus illic
555profuit armentis, nec equis velocibus esse.
556Multa quoque hic torrens nivibus de monte solutis
557corpora turbineo iuvenalia flumine mersit.
558Tutior est requies, solito dum flumina currant
559limite, dum tenues capiat suus alveus undas.”
