Hinc tibi vota patrum credi generosaque pubes te monitore regi, mores et facta priorum discere, quis casus Troiae, quam tardus Ulixes; quantus equum pugnasque virum decurrere versu Maeonides quantumque pios ditarit agrestes Ascraeus Siculusque senex, qua lege recurrat Pindaricae vox flexa lyrae volucrumque precator Ibycus et tetricis Alcman cantatus Amyclis Stesichorusque ferox saltusque ingressa viriles non formidata temeraria Leucade Sappho, quosque alios dignata chelys.
Hence parents hopes were entrusted to you and noble youth governed by your guidance, as they learned the manners and deeds of men gone by: the fate of Troy, Ulysses tardiness, Maeonides power to pass in verse through heroes horses and combats, what riches the old man of Ascra and the old man of Sicily gave honest farmers, what law governs the recurring voice of Pindars winding harp, and Ibycus, who prayed to birds, and Alcman, sung in austere Amyclae, and bold Stesichorus and rash Sappho, who feared not Leucas but took the manly leap, and others by the lyre approved.
