     Io versa caput primos mugiverat annos:

     illic aspicis scopulis haerere Sorores
     et canere antiqui dulcia furta Iovis,
     ut Semela est combustus, ut est deperditus Io,
     [...]

     There shalt thou see the Sisters clinging to the crags, while they chant the sweet loves of Jove in olden time, how he was consumed with fire for Semele, how madly he loved Io, [...]

     tu certe Iovis occultis in amoribus, Io,
     sensisti multas quid sit inire vias,
     [...]

     Yet, Io, in truth thou didst learn in thy secret loves with Jove what it is to tread many paths of wandering, [...]
