Forbid to wound, how take a Stag so fleet? To seize the Boar by incensed Dian sent, The fell destroyer bound he o'er him flings, And unto scared Eurystheus quickly brings, The trembling Tyrant shrinks aghast with dread, The task for man too great. He turn'd, & thro' the stables urged its force, By Pallas' aid the dreadful race subdued, But still Eurystheus' envious hatred burns. And vainly struggling to Eurystheus brought. Fell Diomed, whose horses fat with gore, The Tyrant gave to his own steeds a prey, Which by Eurystheus' order brought away Which bridal Juno gave to Heaven's dread King. The Godlike Hero, saw his Labours done. ./cache/22529.txt ./txt/22529.txt
