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.

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.

To the great man the people went The great man saw this method would fail A great man must save this town! A great man must save this town!

The people hailed the great man and cheered.
