The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Bucolics by Virgil: Of Scylla, child of Nisus, who, 'tis said,
Her fair white loins with barking monsters girt
Vexed the Dulichian ships, and, in the deep

Of the changed limbs of Tereus- what a feast,

How swift she sought the desert, with what wings
Hovered in anguish o'er her ancient home?
All that, of old, Eurotas, happy stream,
Heard, as Apollo mused upon the lyre,
