Ibat et Hippolyti proles pulcherrima bello,
Virbius, insignem quem mater Aricia misit,
eductum Egeriae lucis umentia circum
litora, pinguis ubi et placabilis ara Dianae.
765Namque ferunt fama Hippolytum, postquam arte novercae
occiderit patriasque explerit sanguine poenas
turbatis distractus equis, ad sidera rursus
aetheria et superas caeli venisse sub auras,
Paeoniis revocatum herbis et amore Dianae.
770Tum pater omnipotens, aliquem indignatus ab umbris
mortalem infernis ad lumina surgere vitae,
ipse repertorem medicinae talis et artis
fulmine Phoebigenam Stygias detrusit ad undas.
At Trivia Hippolytum secretis alma recondit
775sedibus et nymphae Egeriae nemorique relegat,
solus ubi in silvis Italis ignobilis aevom
exigeret versoque ubi nomine Virbius esset.
Unde etiam templo Triviae lucisque sacratis
cornipedes arcentur equi, quod litore currum
780et iuvenem monstris pavidi effudere marinis.
Filius ardentis haud setius aequore campi
exercebat equos curruque in bella ruebat.
