"text": "The painter never saw Terpsichore, but owing to\r\nhis art the image deceives our eyes by its truth.\r\n\r\nIf, my friend, you ever hear the lyre that cheers\r\nthe heart, admire Erato, who possesses such skill.\r\n\r\nEuterpe shrills on perforated reeds, scattering on\r\nthem and forcing through them the spirit of\r\nthe skilled bee.\r\n\r\nI, Thalia, am concerned with comic verse, and I\r\npresent in play, on the scene that loves the casta-\r\nnets, the actions of immoral people.\r\n\r\nLook on the image of thy wisdom ; for thy heart\r\nshould conceive Calliope's image to be wisdom.\r\n\r\nI, Clio, dwell by the laurelled tripods of Phoebus,\r\nthe Muse of prophecy and history.\r\n\r\nI, Urania, through calculations revealed by God,\r\nteach the recurring necessity of the stars' motions.\r\n\r\nLook on Melpomene, skilled in lovely eloquence,\r\ngiving force to brazen-voiced epic song.\r\n\r\nI, Polymnia, am silent, but speak through the\r\nentrancing motions of my hands, conveying by my\r\ngestures a speaking silence.¹",
