She brought forth Atlas: her undaunted son:
Glorying Menœtius and Prometheus vers’d
In changeful turns and shifting subtleties:
And Epimetheus of unwary mind:
Who from old time became an evil curse
To man’s inventive race; for he received
The clay-form’d virgin-woman sent from Jove.
All-seeing Jove struck with his smouldering flash
Haughty Menœtius, and cast down to hell;
Shameless in crime and arrogant in strength.
