Was counselled now, for Kronos’ fevered ire

Was kindled iron-white; the fiercest rods

Could not avenge indignities so dire.

All chaos now released—

The giants hundred-armed

Shall take them prisoners

Frustrated and alarmed.

The octopus, the dolphin and the whale

Bewildered, seek the bottom of the sea,

Where coral tree-tops clatter in the gale
