“Ye forty thousand gods,

Ye four hundred thousand gods,

Ye rows of gods,

Ye assemblies of gods,

Ye older brothers of the gods,

Ye four-fold gods,

Ye five-fold gods,

Take away from me my beauty, make it hidden:

Give me the form of a crone, bowed and blear-eyed.”

And when she had said that, her beauty was taken away from her, and she appeared as an old woman, bent and wandering, with a stick in her hand, gathering sea-eggs.
