tum canit, errantem Permessi ad flumina Gallum Aonas in montis ut duxerit una sororum, utque viro Phoebi chorus adsurrexerit omnis; ut Linus haec illi divino carmine pastor, floribus atque apio crinis ornatus amaro, dixerit: hos tibi dant calamos, en accipe, Musae, Ascraeo quos ante seni, quibus ille solebat cantando rigidas deducere montibus ornos.
Then he sings of Gallus, wandering by the streams of Permessus'how one of the sisterhood led him to the Aonian hills, and how all the choir of Phoebus rose to do him honour; how Linus, a shepherd of immortal song, his locks crowned with flowers and bitter parsley, cried to him thus: These reeds'see, take them'the Muses give you'even those they once gave the old Ascraean, wherewith, as he sang, he would draw the unyielding ash trees down the mountain sides.
