56 The Death of Hercules 56 De dood van Hercules 56 A Morte de Hércules

Hercules nihil mali suspicans vestem quam Lichas attulerat statim induit;

paulo post tamen dolorem per omnia membra sensit, et quae causa esset eius rei magnopere mirabatur. by means of all the members, however, felt that after the pain a little, very much surprised to hear that, and might be the cause of the event.

Dolore paene exanimatus vestem detrahere conatus est;  illa tamen in corpore haesit, neque ullo modo abscindi potuit. Pain to detract from the efforts of the garment is almost put to death; But she was still in the body, grew fixed, and was able to, nor in any way to be amputated.

Tum demum Hercules quasi furore impulsus in montem Oetam se contulit, et in rogum, quem summa celeritate exstruxit, se imposuit.

Hoc cum fecisset, eos qui circumstabant oravit ut rogum quam celerrime succenderent.

Omnes diu recusabant; tandem tamen pastor quidam ad misericordiam inductus ignem subdidit.

Tum, dum omnia fumo obscurantur, Hercules densa nube velatus a Iove in Olympum abreptus est.
