Hymn 4, Line 252 by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (English)
Then, after the Son of Leto had searched out the recesses of the great house, he spake to glorious Hermes: "Child, lying in the cradle, make haste and tell me of my cattle, or we two will soon fall out angrily. For I will take and cast you into dusty Tartarus and awful hopeless darkness, and neither your mother nor your father shall free you or bring you up again to the light, but you will wander under the earth and be the leader amongst little folk."
