AUSONIUS.
Vane, quid affectas faciem mihi ponere, pictor, Ignotamque oculis solicitare manu? Aeris et venti sum filia, mater inanis Indicii, vocemque sine mente gero. Auribus in vestris habito penetrabilis echo; Si mihi vis similem pingere, pinge sonos. IN ENGLISH. Vain painter, why dost strive my face to draw With busy hands? a goddesse eyes nere saw. Daughter of air and wind, I do rejoyce In empty shouts; (without a mind) a voice. Within your ears shrill echo I rebound, And, if you'l paint me like, then paint a sound. Unsatisfied?
