Held Zeus aloof then from the hornèd beast?

'Tis said, he loved, in semblance of a bull.

And his stern consort, did she aught thereon?

One myriad-eyed she set, the heifer's guard.

How namest thou this herdsman many-eyed?

Argus, the child of Earth, whom Hermes slew.

Still did the goddess vex the beast ill-starred?

She wrought a gadfly with a goading sting.

Thus drave she Io hence, to roam afar?

Yea—this thy word coheres exact with mine.
