non tibi femineum vultu decus oraque supra mollis honos, quales dubiae quos crimina formae de sexu transire iubent; torva <at>que virilis gratia nec petulans acies blandique severo igne oculi, qualis bellus iam casside visu Parthenopaeus erat, simplexque horrore decoro crinis et obsessae nondum primoque micantes flore genae; talem Ledaeo gurgite pubem educat Eurotas, teneri sic integer aevi Elin adit primosque Iovi puer approbat annos.
No womanish charm was in your face, no unmanly grace upon your brow, as with those whom reproach of ambiguous beauty makes change their sex; your charm was stern and virile. Not impudent your look; your eyes were gentle with a spark of austerity, the like of Parthenopaeus now handsome in his helmet. Your hair style simple and rough, yet becoming, your cheeks aflash with first down, but not yet smothered. Such youth Eurotas rears by Ledas stream, so comes a lad at the tender age of innocence to Elis, approving his early years to Jove.
