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.
