Olim
in palúde versabátur
hydra.
Haec
novem cápita habébat.
Cápita vero octo
ábscidit Hércules,
nonum autem
vulneráre non póterat;
immortále enim erat.
Abscísso quoque cápite,
bina statim enascebántur.
His tandem
igne consúmptis,
caput immortále
sub saxo ingénti
cóndidit Hércules.
Bélua ita devícta,
sagíttas
venenáto sánguine tinxit.
