Mas, temendo esse risco, o pai onipotente / em caverna sombria os encerrou, / pondo por cima a massa colossal / de altos rochedos, e lhes deu um rei / que soubesse, mediante certo pacto, / as rédeas encurtar, ou afrouxá-las, / conforme as ordens recebidas.

- But, fearing this, the Sire omnipotent / hath buried them in caverns dark and deep, / and o'er them piled huge mountains in a heap, / and set withal a monarch, there to reign, / by compact taught at his command to keep / strict watch, and tighten or relax the rein.
