Metamorphoses
Book 9, Line 26 by Henry T. Riley (English)
When Themis, foreseeing the future, had said these words with prophetic voice, the Gods above murmured in varying discourse; and the complaint was, why it might not be allowed others to grant the same gifts. Aurora , the daughter of Pallas, complained of the aged years of her husband; the gentle Ceres complained that Iäsion was growing grey; Mulciber demanded for Ericthonius a life to live over again; a concern for the future influenced Venus, too, and she made an offer to renew the years of Anchises.
