fando aliquod si forte tuas pervenit ad auris Belidae nomen Palamedis et incluta fama gloria, quem falsa sub proditione Pelasgi insontem infando indicio, quia bella vetabat, demisere neci, nunc cassum lumine lugent: illi me comitem et consanguinitate propinquum pauper in arma pater primis huc misit ab annis.
If it chance that speech to your ears has brought some rumour of Palamedes, son of Belus, and the glory of his fame whom under false evidence, by wicked witnessing, because he forbade the war, the Pelasgians sent down innocent to death, and mourn him, now that he is bereft of light'in his company, being of kindred blood, my father, poor as he was, sent me hither to arms in my earliest years.
