Pergame, pinifera multum felicior Ida, illa licet sacrae placeat sibi nube rapinae (nempe dedit superis illum quem turbida semper Iuno videt refugitque manum nectarque recusat), at tu grata deis pulchroque insignis alumno misisti Latio placida quem fronte ministrum Iuppiter Ausonius pariter Romanaque Iuno aspiciunt et uterque probant, nec tanta potenti terrarum domino divum sine mente voluptas.
Pergamus, more fortunate by far than pine-clad Ida, though Ida pride herself on the cloud of a holy rape'for surely she gave the High Ones him at whom Juno ever looks askance, recoiling from his hand and refusing the nectar: but you have the gods favor, specially commended by your fair nursling. You sent to Latium a servant whom Ausonian Jupiter and Roman Juno alike regard with kindly brow, both approving; and not without the will of the gods is the lord of earth so well pleased.
