] sternitur extemplo veteres incaedua ferro silva comas, largae qua non opulentior umbrae Argolicos inter saltusque educta Lycaeos extulerat super astra caput: stat sacra senectae numine, nec solos hominum transgressa veterno fertur avos, Nymphas etiam mutasse superstes Faunorumque greges.

It stood sacred in the majesty of age, said not only to surpass mens ancestors in antiquity but to have seen generations of Nymphs and Fauns come and go.
