Balle propheta docet, quem spiritus ante malignusBall the prophet teaches, he whom an evil spirit once instructed,
Edocuit, que sua tunc fuit alta scola.which was then his exalted school.
Talia quam plures furias per nomina noui,Many such furies by name I have known,795
Que fuerant alia pauca recordor ego:Though of the others I remember only a few.
Sepius exclamant monstrorum vocibus altis,They often cry out with the high voices of monsters,
Atque modis variis dant variare tonos.And in various ways they shift and alter tones.
