LXXX

Aere rigens curvo patulos conponor in orbes;
Mobilis est intus linguae crepitantis imago;
Non resono positus, motus longeque resulto.

Peck:

I'm stiff with curvèd brass and spread around,
Within, an image of the tongue is found,
Set down, I speak not, but, when moved, resound.

Ohl:

Rigid with curved bronze I am fashioned in the form of a wide-mouthed circle. Within is the nimble likeness of a tinkling tongue. Set down, I make no sound; when moved, however, I often ring out.
