“‘cūr tibi prō Libycīs clauduntur rēte leaenīs imbellēs capreae sollicitusque lepus?’ nōn sibi, respondit, silvās cessisse, sed hortōs”

“Why, to [honor] you, instead of Libyan lionesses, are unwarlike roe deer (or female goats) and the timid hare being trapped in the net?” Forests were not granted to her, she replied, but the gardens and fields, [which are] not to be approached by aggressive beasts. (The poet asks Flora (mythology) why the Floralia featured certain animals.)
