Accedit dictis pater ingenioque parentis occultum Aeaciden (quis divum fraudibus obstet?) accipit; ultro etiam veneratur supplice dextra et grates electus agit: nec turba piarum Scyriadum cessat nimio defigere visu virginis ora novae, quantum cervice comisque emineat quantumque umeros ac pectora fundat.
The father assents to her words and accepts Achilles disguised by parental craft'who should resist divine deceits? He even reverences her with suppliant hand and thanks her for choosing him. The flock of duteous Scyrian girls continue to stare relentlessly at the new maidens face, marvelling how she outtops them by neck and hair, how broad she spreads her chest and shoulders.
