hic Cacum in tenebris incendia vana vomentem corripit

here he snatched up cacus who was vomiting useless fires in the darkness,

in nodum complexus et angit inhaerens

encircling him into a knot and clinging on

elisos oculos et siccum sanguine guttur.

he squeezed him until his eyes started fron their sockets and his throat was dry of blood.

panditur extemplo foribus domus atra revulsis,

Immediately, the black home was thrown open with the doors wrenched off,

abstractaeque boves abiurataeque rapinae

and the cattle had been dragged off and the thefts that had been denied on oath

caelo ostenduntur

there revealed by heaven

pedibusque informe cadaver/ protrahitur.

and the deformed corpse was dragged forth by the feet.

nequeunt expleri corda tuendo/ terribiles oculos,

our hearts could not be satisfied by gazing at his terrible eyes,

vultum villosaque saetis/ pectora semiferi atque exstinctos faucibus ignes.

the face and chest of the half beast, shaggy with bristles and the fires extinguished from his throat.
