hic ubi Pierias exercet Pollius artes, seu volvit monitus quos dat Gargettius auctor, seu nostram quatit ille chelyn, seu dissona nectit carmina, sive minax ultorem stringit iambon, hinc levis e scopulis meliora ad carmina Siren advolat, hinc motis audit Tritonia cristis.
Here Pollius plies Pierian skills, whether meditating the precepts of the Gargettian teacher or striking my lyre or turning unequal verses or unsheathing the avenging iamb in threatening vein. From this side the Siren flits lightly from her rocks to better songs than hers, from that Tritonia hearkens, nodding her crest.
