Daphnis ego in silvis, hinc usque ad sidera notus,

Formosi pecoris custos, formosior ipse.

-- P. Virgilii Maronis Ecloga V, 43 - 44

I was Daphnis in the woods, hence up to the stars famous,

Keeper of beautiful sheep, even more beautiful myself.

Note: Daphnis was a mythical shepherd-god of Sicily, praised and celebrated in poems.
