In solitudine cantilavit Orpheus in silvis, inter delphinas Arion, quippe, si fides fabulis, Orpheus exsilio desolatus, Arion navigio praecipitatus, ille immanium bestiarum delenitor, hic misericordium beluarum oblectator, ambo miserrimi cantores, quia non sponte ad laudem, sed necessario ad salutem nitebantur.
It was in solitude that Orpheus in the woods, Arion among the dolphins, sang their songs, if the myths are true, since Orpheus was left in lonely exile, Arion was tossed from a ship, the first a tamer of monstrous beasts, the second a charmer of sympathetic sea creatures, both of them the most wretched of singers in that they did not strive for praise of their own will, but for survival under duress.
