Metamorphoses
Book 10, Line 24 by Henry T. Riley (English)
“Of him was that Cinyras sprung, who, if he had been without issue, might have been reckoned among the happy. Of horrible events shall I now sing. Daughters, be far hence; far hence be parents, too ; or, if my verse shall charm your minds, let credit not be given to me in this part of my song , and do not believe that it happened; or, if you will believe, believe as well in the punishment of the deed.
