Under the direction of Jupiter, the God of War soon recovered.
"Thus he, who shakes Olympus with his nod,
Then gave to Poeon's care the bleeding god.
With gentle hand, the balm he poured around,
And healed th' immortal flesh, and closed the wound.
Cleansed from the dust and gore, fair Hebe dressed
His mighty limbs in an immortal vest,
Glorious he sat, in majesty restored,
Fast by the throne of Heaven's superior lord."
