non sic Leucippis succendit Castora Phoebe, Pollucem cultu non Helara soror; non, Idae et cupido quondam discordia Phoebo, Eueni patriis filia litoribus; nec Phrygium falso traxit candore maritum avecta externis Hippodamia rotis: sed facies aderat nullis obnoxia gemmis, qualis Apelleis est color in tabulis.
Not thus did Phoebe, daughter of Leucippus, set Castor afire, or Hilara, her sister, Pollux with her ornaments; not thus on her fathers banks did the daughter of Evenus once set Idas and ardent Phoebus at strife; nor by false glamour did Hippodamia win a Phrygian husband, she who was borne away on a strangers wheels: these had beauty which owed nothing to jewellery, pure as the hues in paintings by Apelles.
