mox patre deterior silvosi habitator Olympi Iuppiter incesta spurcavit labe Lacaenas, nunc bove subvectam rapiens ad crimen amatam, nunc tener ac pluma levior blandosque susurros in morem recinens suave inmorientis oloris, capta quibus volucrem virguncula ferret amorem, nunc foribus surdis, sera quas vel pessulus artis firmarat cuneis, per tectum dives amator imbricibus ruptis undantis desuper auri infundens pluviam gremio excipientis amicae, armigero modo sordidulam curante rapinam conpressu inmundo miserum adficiens catamitum, pelice iam puero magis indignante sorore.
Next Jupiter, who was worse than his father and lived on wooded Olympus, defiled the Laconian women with the stain of lust, at one time carrying off his loved one on a bulls back to commit his crime; again, gentle and lighter than down and chanting soft wooing notes like a swans sweet death-song, to charm the girl and make her willing to submit to his winged love; or again, when doors were deaf and tight-wedged bar or bolt held them fast, the rich lover would break the tiles and through the roof pour streaming down a shower of gold for his mistress to catch it in her lap; or his armour-bearer managed the vile ravishing and he held the wretched Ganymede in his foul embrace, and his sister was angrier than ever at having now a boy as her rival.
