Unde sacro Latii sonuerunt carmine montes? cui, Paean, nova plectra moves umeroque comanti facundum suspendis ebur? procul ecce canoro demigrant Helicone deae quatiuntque novena lampade sollemnem thalamis coeuntibus ignem et de Pieriis vocalem fontibus undam.
Wherefore have Latiums hills resounded in sacred song? For whom, Paean, do you stir your quill anew and hang the eloquent ivory from your tressy shoulders? See, the goddesses afar come down from tuneful Helicon and with ninefold torch toss ritual fire of marriage union and vocal wave from Pierias fount.
