“And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men too, when they, at their birth, have grey hair on their temples.”

That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
As obstinacy, both in men and women,
Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
