non secus ac supero pariter si cardine lapsae Pallas et asperior Phoebi soror, utraque telis, utraque torva genis flavoque in vertice nodo, illa suas Cyntho comites agat, haec Aracyntho; tunc, si fas oculis, non umquam longa tuendo expedias, cui maior honos, cui gratior, aut plus de Iove; mutatosque velint transumere cultus, et Pallas deceat pharetras et Delia cristas.
It was as though Pallas and Phoebus sterner sister,  both grim of weapons and of eye, blond braid upon their heads, were to glide together from the sky above leading their companions, the one from Cynthus, the other from Aracynthus; then could you never by long gazing (were your eyes permitted) determine which had the grander grace, which the more charming, which had more of Jupiter. And should they wish to change dress with each other, Pallas would beseem the quiver and Delia the helmet crest.
