Book XV, 21: The Pipe of Theocritus

The bed-fellow of nobody and mother of the far-fighter gave birth to the swift director of the nurse of him whose place a stone took, not Cerastas, whom the child of the bull once reared, but him whose heart once was burnt by the edge of a shield lacking a Pi, whole by name, a double animal who felt desire for the Meropian girl born of a voice and like to the wind, who put together for the violet-crowned Muse a shrill wound, the monument of fiery love; le who quenched the bravery that had the same name as the slayer of his grandfather and freed the Tyrian maiden from it; he to whom Paris Simichidas offered this beloved possession of the blind-bearers; rejoicing in thy soul at which, O treader of flocks, tormentor of the Saettian woman, son of a thief, without a father, box-footed, mayst thou sweetly play to the mute girl, Calliope the invisible.
