The Aeneid - pg. 142

Glorying in his courage and his prize,

Spoke out:

"Son of the goddess, Teucrians all,

Now see what power was in me in my prime,

And see the death from which you rescued Dares."

He set himself to face the bull that stood there,

Prize of the battle, then drew back his right

And from his full height lashed his hard glove out

Between the horns. The impact smashed the skull

And fragmented the brains. Down went the ox

Aquiver to sprawl dying on the ground.

The man stood over it and in deep tones

Proclaimed:

"Here is a better life in place of Dares,

Eryx; here I lay down my gauntlets and my art."
