So, the gods don't hand out all their gifts at once, not build and brains and flowing speech to all. One man may fail to impress us with his looks but a god can crown his words with beauty, charm, and men look on with delight when he speaks out. Never faltering, filled with winning self-control, he shines forth at assembly grounds and people gaze at him like a god when he walks through the streets. Another man may look like a deathless one on high but there's not a bit of grace to crown his words. Just like you, my fine, handsome friend.
Forgetful youth! but know, the Power above With ease can save each object of his love; Wide as his will extends his boundless grace.
So it is that the gods do not give all men gifts of grace - neither good looks nor intelligence nor eloquence.
