Available translation(s): ENG
Non fu già men forte Alcide
benché in sen d'Onfale bella
spesso l'armi egli posò!
Né men fiero il gran Pelide
sotto spoglie di donzella
d'Asia i regni minacciò!

Hercules was not any less strong
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Hercules was not any less strong
for having often left his weapons
upon the breast of beauteous Omphale!
Nor was the great Achilles any less proud
for having menaced the kingdoms of Asia
beneath the garments of a woman!
