I recited how his mother went from town to town to select a worthy place to give birth to the young god, son of Zeus, the Supreme Being, and how he was born and cradled amid the ministrations of all the goddesses, who bathed him in the running stream and fed him with nectar and ambrosia from Olympus.
The young man who wrote at his dictation implored him to desist. But he would not rest. They came at length to the final chapter; could he possibly live till it was done? 'And now, dear master, exclaimed the young scribe tremblingly, 'only one sentence remains! He read the words and the sinking man feebly recited the English equivalents.
