Her ladies wise reply'd 29. Yea to herself the answer made, 30. Have they not speed? she cry'd. The prey to each a maid or twain Divided have not they?

Declare how first the gods and Earth became; The rivers and th' immeasurable sea High-raging in its foam; the glittering stars, The wide impending Heaven; and who from these Of deities arose, dispensing good; Say how their treasures, how their honors each Allotted shar'd: how first they held abode On many-caved Olympus: this declare, Ye Muses! dwellers of the heavenly mount From the beginning; say, who first arose?
