florea per verni qualis iuga duxit Hymetti aut Sicula sub rupe choros hinc gressibus haerens Pallados hinc carae Proserpina iuncta Dianae, altior ac nulla comitum certante, prius quam palluit et viso pulsus decor omnis Averno: talis et in vittis geminae cum lumine taedae Colchis erat, nondum miseros exosa parentes
As Proserpine in springtime led the dance over Hymettus flowery ridges or beneath the cliffs of Sicily, on this side stepping close by Pallas, on that side hand in hand with her beloved Diana, taller than they and surpassing all her fellows, ere she grew pale at the sight of Avernus and all her beauty fled: so fair also was the Colchian in her sacred fillets by the twin torches light, while yet she hated not her hapless parents.
