PORTII
LICINII.
Si Phoebi soror es, mando tibi, Delia,
causam,
Scilicet, ut fratri quae peto verba feras:
Marmore Sicanio struxi tibi, Delphice, templum,
Et
levibus calamis candida verba dedi.
Nunc, si nos
audis, atque es divinus Apollo,
Dic mihi, qui nummos
non habet unde petat.
ENGLISHED.
If you
are Phoebus sister, Delia, pray,
This my request unto
the Sun convay:
O Delphick god, I built thy marble
fane,
And sung thy praises with a gentle cane,
Now, if thou art divine Apollo, tell,
Where he, whose
purse is empty, may go fill.
