    Constitit adveniens citra limenque foresque
    et tantum caelo tegitur refugitque viriles
    240
    contactus statuitque aras de caespite binas,
    dexteriore Hecates, ast laeva parte Iuventae.
    Has ubi verbenis silvaque incinxit agresti.
    haud procul egesta scrobibus tellure duabus
    sacra facit cultrosque in guttura velleris atri
    245
    conicit et patulas perfundit sanguine fossas.
    Tum super invergens liquidi carchesia vini
    alteraque invergens tepidi carchesia lactis
    verba simul fudit terrenaque numina civit
    umbrarumque rogat rapta cum coniuge regem,
    250
    ne properent artus anima fraudare senili.
    Quos ubi placavit precibusque et murmure longo,
    Aesonis effetum proferri corpus ad auras
    iussit et in plenos resolutum carmine somnos,
    exanimi similem, stratis porrexit in herbis.
    255
    Hinc procul Aesoniden, procul hinc iubet ire ministros
    et monet arcanis oculos removere profanos.
    Diffugiunt iussi. Passis Medea capillis
    bacchantum ritu, flagrantes circuit aras
    multifidasque faces in fossa sanguinis atra
    260
    tingit et infectas geminis accendit in aris
    terque senem flamma, ter aqua, ter sulphure lustrat.
    Interea validum posito medicamen aeno
    fervet et exsultat spumisque tumentibus albet.
    Illic Haemonia radices valle resectas
    265
    seminaque floresque et sucos incoquit atros.
    Adicit extremo lapides oriente petitos
    et quas Oceani refluum mare lavit harenas,
    addit et exceptas luna pernocte pruinas
    et strigis infames ipsis cum carnibus alas
    270
    inque virum soliti vultus mutare ferinos
    ambigui prosecta lupi; nec defuit illis
    squamea Cinyphii tenuis membrana chelydri
    vivacisque iecur cervi; quibus insuper addit
    ora caputque novem cornicis saecula passae.
    275
    His et mille aliis postquam sine nomine rebus
    propositum instruxit mortali barbara maius
    arenti ramo iampridem mitis olivae
    omnia confudit summisque inmiscuit ima.
    Ecce vetus calido versatus stipes aeno
    280
    fit viridis primo, nec longo tempore frondes
    induit et subito gravidis oneratur olivis.
    At quacumque cavis spumas eiecit aenis
    ignis et in terram guttae cecidere calentes,
    vernat humus, floresque et mollia pabula surgunt.

    285
    Quae simul ac vidit, stricto Medea recludit
    ense senis iugulum, veteremque exire cruorem
    passa, replet sucis. Quos postquam combibit Aeson
    aut ore acceptos aut vulnere, barba comaeque
    canitie posita nigrum rapuere colorem,
    290
    pulsa fugit macies, abeunt pallorque situsque,
    adiectoque cavae supplentur corpore rugae,
    membraque luxuriant. Aeson miratur et olim
    ante quater denos hunc se reminiscitur annos.

    Viderat ex alto tanti miracula monstri
    295
    Liber, et admonitus iuvenes nutricibus annos
    posse suis reddi, capit hoc a Colchide munus.
