 " monstratam efficaci auspicio, cum in ore Stesichori cecinit in-

 " tus, nee iidem omnibus, sed sui cuique. Certant inter se^ 

 " palamque animosa contentio est. Victa morte finit saspe 

 " vitam, spirita prius deficiente, quam cantu. Meditantur alias 

 " juniores, versusque quos imitentur accipiunt. Audit discipula 

 " intentione magna et reddit, ricibusque reticent. Intelligitur 

 " emendatse correctio et in docente qusedam reprehensio."*
