Whose mansion is yon ample firmament.

Eurybia, noble goddess, blending love

With Crius, gave the great Astræus birth,

Pallas the god, and Perses, wise in lore.

The Morning to Astræus bare the Winds

Of spirit untamed: [187]East, West, and South, and North

Cleaving his rapid course: a goddess thus

Embracing with a god. Last, Lucifer

Sprang radiant from the dawn-appearing Morn:

And all the glittering stars that gird the heaven.
