I followed the path and I tell you this:

On the way to the grove you’ll pass the Fates,

Shadow-eyed, bent over their weaving.

Stop for a moment, and if you see

The thread of revenge leap out of the shuttle

Then quickly snatch from Atropos

The shears and cut it, lest your sons,

And the children of them and their children

Wear the envenomed robe.
