And then the curse his father Cronos spake

Shall have its dread completion, even that

He uttered when he left his ancient throne;

And from these troubles no one of the Gods

But me can clearly show the way to 'scape.

I know the time and manner: therefore now

Let him sit fearless, in his peals on high

Putting his trust, and shaking in his hands

His darts fire-breathing. Nought shall they avail

To hinder him from falling shamefully
