| Edocuit, que sua tunc fuit alta scola. | which was then his exalted school. | |
| Talia quam plures furias per nomina noui, | Many such furies by name I have known, | 795 |
| Que fuerant alia pauca recordor ego: | Though of the others I remember only a few. | |

| Atque modis variis dant variare tonos. | And in various ways they shift and alter tones. |
