Like any Siphnian or Chian fop—
As is too much the fashion since that Phrynis[[541]]
Brought o’er Ionian airs—quickly the scourge
Rained on his shoulders blows like hail as one
Plotting the Muses’ downfal. In the Palæstra
Custom required them decently to sit,
Decent to rise, smoothing the sandy floor
Lest any traces of their form should linger
Unsightly on the dust. When in the bath
Grave was their manner, their behaviour chaste.
