Iuppiter et Apollo contendunt
de arte iaculandi.
Phoebus itaque arcum intendit
et sagittam emittit,
sed Iuppiter uno gressu conficit
spatii tantum
quantum Apollinis sagitta confecit.
Fabula docet:
Qui cum praestantioribus contendit,
non modo eos non assequitur,
sed et risum parit sibi.
This story is based on 766. Iuppiter et Apollo.
