[24] ψυχᾷ δοῦναι Horace, Ode iv. 7. 19; Simonides 85: “ ἀλλὰ σὺ ταῦτα μαθὼν βιότου ποτὶ τέρμα
ψυχῇ τῶν ἀγαθῶν τλῆθι χαριζόμενος.

”

ἀοιδῶν repeated again in 29 Μουσάων τίειν ὑποφήτας, but this is no tautology, since it is for new emphasis and with a new turn of phrase that the duty of granting somewhat to the arts is insisted on.
