aut vos pictorum docuit manus adsimulatis iure poetarum numen conponere monstris, aut lepida ex vestro sumpsit pictura sacello quod variis imitata notis ceraque liquenti duceret in faciem, sociique poematis arte aucta coloratis auderet ludere fucis.
Either the handiwork of painters has taught you to make a divinity out of unreal shapes which the poets licence has feigned, or the painters pretty art has taken from your shrine something to copy with diverse strokes and melted wax and shape into a figure, making bold to depict it fancifully with coloured paints and aided by the art of her partner poetry.
