I shall not defend them and I shall not care.

Even if I did, and tried to stay you, I should take nothing by it, for you are much stronger than I am, but I will not have my own work wasted.

I too am a god and of the same race with yourself.

I am Saturn's eldest daughter, and am honourable not on this ground only, but also because I am your wife, and you are king over the gods.

Let it be a case, then, of give-and-take between us, and the rest of the gods will follow our lead.
