THE SHE-GOATS having obtained a beard by request to Jupiter,

　　The He-Goats were sorely displeased1 and made complaint that

　　the females equaled them in dignity. "Allow them," said Jupiter,

　　"to enjoy an empty honor and to assume the badge of your nobler

　　sex, so long as they are not your equals in strength or courage."

　　It matters little if those who are inferior to us in merit

　　should be like us in outside appearances.
