Quid referam veteres ceraeque aerisque figuras, si quid Apellei gaudent animasse colores, si quid adhuc vacua tamen admirabile Pisa Phidiacae rasere manus, quod ab arte Myronis aut Polycliteo iussum est quod vivere caelo, aeraque ab Isthmiacis auro potiora favillis, ora ducum ac vatum sapientumque ora priorum, quos tibi cura sequi, quos toto pectore sentis expers curarum atque animum virtute quieta compositus semperque tuus?
Why should I tell of ancient forms in wax or bronze, shapes animated by Apelles gay colors or planed by Phidias hands'wondrous work, though Pisa was still empty'or bidden to live by Myrons art or Polyclitus chisel, bronzes from Isthmian ash more precious than gold, faces of captains and poets, faces of olden sages, whom tis your study to follow, whom you feel in all your heart'free of cares as you are, mind composed in tranquil virtue, ever master of yourself?
