Page 28 - ... conveniet Satyros, ita vertere seria ludo, ne quicumque deus, quicumque adhibebitur heros, regali conspectus in auro nuper et ostro, migret in obscuras humili sermone tabernas, aut, dum vitat humum, nubes et inania captet. 230 effutire levis indigna Tragoedia versus, ut festis matrona moveri iussa diebus, intererit Satyris paulum pudibunda protervis.

Amphion too, men said, at his desire Moved massy stones, obedient to the lyre, And Thebes arose. 'Twas wisdom's province then To judge...
