For he told how many justice-defying monsters on land and sea he should slay, + 

And should give unto death a man most hateful who walked in malice’s crooked way; + 

Yea also and when the strife should be striven on Phlegra’s plain of the Dwellers in Heaven + 

Against the earth-spawned Giants arrayed, then ’neath his arrows’ rushing rain + 

Should the flame-bright hair of the monster-brood be fouled in death with dust of the plain. + 
