nam te nec vasti genuerunt aequora ponti nec flammam volvens ore Chimaera fero nec canis anguina redimitus terga caterva, cui tres sunt linguae tergeminumque caput, Scyllaque virgineam canibus succincta figuram, nec te conceptam saeva leaena tulit, barbara nec Scythiae tellus horrendave Syrtis; sed culta et duris non habitanda domus et longe ante alias omnes mitissima mater isque pater quo non alter amabilior.
For thou wast not sprung from the waste seas fields, or from Chimaera rolling flames from savage jaws, or from the dog with three tongues and a triple head and back by a snaky troop encircled, or Scylla with a girdle of hounds about her womans body. No cruel lioness conceived and bore thee, nor the barbarous land of Scythia or the fearful Syrtis, but a humane home where the ungentle might not dwell and a mother far kinder than all her sex, and a sire than whom is none more lovable.
