_Stipends_ Arrius ever on opportunity _shtipends_,
_Ambush_ as _hambush_ still Arrius used to declaim.
Then, hoped fondly the words were a marvel of articulation,
While with an _h_ immense '_hambush_' arose from his heart.
So his mother of old, so e'en spoke Liber his uncle, 5
Credibly; so grandsire, grandam alike did agree.
Syria took him away; all ears had rest for a moment;
Lightly the lips those words, slightly could utter again.
None was afraid any more of a sound so clumsy returning;
Sudden a solemn fright seized us, a message arrives. 10
'News from Ionia country; the sea, since Arrius enter'd,
Changed; 'twas _Ionian_ once, now 'twas _Hionian_ all.'
