Citation: [Picta Poesis Ovidiana [1580], p. 89
Often Atalanta would travel through the quiet glades
Safely, with her trusty dog at her side.
Whether she routed her prey through the hills
Or if she wanted to tackle the savage beasts head-on
Her pup companion was always by her side,
And never more than an inch away from her at all
times.
Saepe pererrabat tacitos Atalanta recessus:
tuta tamen fido Menalione fuit.
Cingeret obsessos seu curva indagine colles:
seu cuperet saevas cominus ire feras.
Haerebat lateri semper comes ille: nec umquam,
a domina lato longius ungue fuit.
