hi cum terras gravis ureret aestas, ad gelidos fontes et easdem forte sub umbras conveniunt dulcique simul contendere cantu pignoribusque parant: placet, hic ne vellera septem, ille sui victus ne messem vindicet horti; et magnum certamen erat sub iudice Thyrsi.
These, upon a day when oppressive summer scorched the earth, met by a cooling spring'as it chanced, beneath the same shady tree; and made ready to contend together in sweet singing and for a stake. It was agreed that Idas, if beaten, should forfeit seven fleeces and Astacus the produce of his garden for the year. Great was the contest to which Thyrsis listened as their judge.
