Andromedae sequitur sidus, quae Piscibus ortis
\nbis sex in partes caelo venit aurea dextro.
\nhanc quondam poenae dirorum culpa parentum
\nprodidit, infestus totis cum finibus omnis
\nincubuit pontus, fluitavit naufraga tellus,
\net quod erat regnum pelagus fuit. una malorum
\nproposita est merces, vesano dedere ponto
\nAndromedan, teneros ut belua manderet artus.
\nhic hymenaeus erat, solataque publica damna
\nprivatis lacrimans ornatur victima poenae
\ninduiturque sinus non haec ad vota paratos,
\nvirginis et vivae rapitur sine funere funus.
\nat, simul infesti ventum est ad litora ponti,
\nmollia per duras panduntur bracchia cautes;
\nastrinxere pedes scopulis, iniectaque vincla,
\net cruce virginea moritura puella pependit.
\nservatur tamen in poena vultusque pudorque;
\nsupplicia ipsa decent; nivea cervice reclinis
\nmolliter ipsa suae custos est visa figurae.
\ndefluxere sinus umeris fugitque lacertos
\nvestis et effusi scapulis haesere capilli.
\nte circum alcyones pinnis planxere volantes
\nfleveruntque tuos miserando carmine casus
\net tibi contextas umbram fecere per alas.
\nad tua sustinuit fluctus spectacula pontus
\nassuetasque sibi desit perfundere rupes,
\nextulit et liquido Nereis ab aequore vultus
\net, casus miserata tuos, roravit et undas.
\nipsa levi flatu refovens pendentia membra
\naura per extremas resonavit flebile rupes.
\ntandem Gorgonei victorem Persea monstri
\nfelix illa dies redeuntem ad litora duxit.
\nisque, ubi pendentem vidit de rupe puellam,
\nderiguit, facie quem non stupefecerat hostis,
\nvixque manu spolium tenuit, victorque Medusae
\nvictus in Andromeda est. iam cautibus invidet ipsis
\nfelicisque vocat, teneant quae membra, catenas;
\net, postquam poenae causam cognovit ab ipsa,
\ndestinat in thalamos per bellum vadere ponti,
\naltera si Gorgo veniat, non territus illa.
\nconcitat aerios cursus flentisque parentes
\npromissu vitae recreat pactusque maritam
\nad litus remeat. gravidus iam surgere pontus
\ncoeperat ac longo fugiebant agmine fluctus
\nimpellentis onus monstri. caput eminet undas
\nscindentis pelagusque vomit, circumsonat aequor
\ndentibus, inque ipso rapidum mare navigat ore;
\nhinc vasti surgunt immensis torquibus orbes
\ntergaque consumunt pelagus. sonat undique Phorcys
\natque ipsi metuunt montes scopulique ruentem.
\ninfelix virgo, quamvis sub vindice tanto
\nquae tua tunc fuerat facies! quam fugit in auras
\nspiritus! ut toto caruerunt sanguine membra,
\ncum tua fata cavis e rupibus ipsa videres
\nadnantemque tibi poenam pelagusque ferentem
\nquantula praeda maris! quassis hic subvolat alis
\nPerseus et semet caelo iaculatur in hostem
\nGorgoneo tinctum defigens sanguine ferrum.
\nilla subit contra versamque a gurgite frontem
\nerigit et tortis innitens orbibus alte
\nemicat ac toto sublimis corpore fertur.
\nsed, quantum illa subit, semper, iaculata profundo,
\nin tantum revolat laxumque per aethera ludit
\nPerseus et ceti subeuntis verberat ora.
\nnec cedit tamen illa viro, sed saevit in auras
\nmorsibus, et vani crepitant sine vulnere dentes;
\nefflat et in caelum pelagus mergitque volantem
\nsanguineis undis pontumque exstillat in astra.
\nspectabat pugnam pugnandi causa puella,
\niamque oblita sui metuit pro vindice tali
\nsuspirans animoque magis quam corpore pendet.
\ntandem confossis subsedit belua membris
\nplena maris summasque iterum remeavit ad undas
\net magnum vasto contexit corpore pontum,
\ntum quoque terribilis nec virginis ore videnda.
\nperfundit liquido Perseus in marmore corpus,
\nmaior et ex undis ad cautes pervolat altas
\nsolvitque haerentem vinclis de rupe puellam
\ndesponsam pugna, nupturam dote mariti.
\nhic dedit Andromedae caelum stellisque sacravit
\nmercedem tanti belli, quo concidit ipsa
\nGorgone non levius monstrum pelagusque levavit.<\/p>\n
