Carmina prima tibi cum iam puerilibus annis traderet adsidui permulcens cura magistri inbueretque novas aures sensusque sequaces, ut respondendas docili quoque murmure voces emendata rudi perferret lingua palato, addidimus nil triste senes, ne cura monendi laederet aut dulces gustus vitiaret amaris.
While thy persistent master with coaxing pains was committing to thee, still of boyish years, thy earliest poems, and was training thy prentice ear and the faculties it guides, so that thy tongue, corrected of the unskilled palates faults, might produce the words to be repeated with an obedient murmur, I, an old man, added naught severe lest anxious admonition might gall, or mar the sweet first-taste with bitterness.
