Aspicit intentum vigilique haec aure trahentem, cum paveant aliae demissaque lumina flectant, atque iterat: Quisquis proavis et gente superba, quisquis equo iaculoque potens, qui praevalet arcu, omnis honos illic, illic ingentia certant nomina: vix timidae matres aut agmina cessant virginea; a multum steriles damnatus in annos invisusque deis, si quem haec nova gloria segnem praeterit.
He sees him all attention, drinking in his words with a vigilant ear, while the other girls are afraid and turn their eyes down and away. And he repeats: Whosoever is of proud race and ancestry, whoever knows how to handle horse and javelin or excels with the bow, all honour is there, there great names contend. Scarce do timid mothers or troops of maidens hold back. Ah, condemned is he to barren years and much hated of the gods whom this new glory passes by in idleness.
