So did their ghastly gaze bewray their hidden feares.
Till hauing pauz’d awhile, Ioue thus bespake; xxix
Will neuer mortall thoughts ceasse to aspire,
In this bold sort, to Heauen claime to make,
And touch celestiall seates with earthly mire?

Or Typhons fall, or proud Ixions paine,
Or great Prometheus, tasting of our ire,
Would haue suffiz’d, the rest for to restraine;
And warn’d all men by their example to refraine:
