(Oebaliden illo praeceps mutaret Apollo, Alcides pensaret Hylan); seu Graius amictu Attica facundi decurreret orsa Menandri, laudaret gavisa sonum crinemque decorum fregisset rosea lasciva Thalia corona; Maeonium sive ille senem Troiaeque labores diceret aut casus tarde remeantis Ulixis, ipse pater sensus, ipsi stupuere magistri.
Apollo would have hurried to take him in exchange for Oebalus son, Alcides would have bartered Hylas. Or if in Grecian dress he ran through the Attic speech of eloquent Menander, wanton Thalia would have praised his accents in delight and ruffled his comely hair with a garland of roses. Or did he declaim the old Maeonian and Troys labors or the adventures of laggard Ulysses, even his papa, even his teachers fell amazed at his intuition.
