“ The trembling Tyrant shrinks aghast with dread,
And in his brazen Vessel hides his coward head.
5 The Stables of Augeas.
To cleanse the Augean Stables now he's sped,
Where thirty years three thousand Oxen fed;
The task for man too great. ”

“ Roams wild in vengeance thro' his wide domains,
And death & terror spreads o'er Crete's fair plains;
But soon the bellowing beast alive he caught,
And vainly struggling to Eurystheus brought.
8 Diomedes and his Horses.
Fell Diomed, whose horses fat with gore,
His subjects bodies in their mangers tore,
He next o'erthrew. And as old authors say,
The Tyrant gave to his own steeds a prey,
On Mount Olympus rent by savage beasts,
No more the horses make on man their horrid feasts. ”
