So lautet das Gerucht: doch
725
Ich traue der Sage kaum,
Daß Hyperion seinen Siz,
Den goldenen, heißen gewechselt,
Leid dem Menschengeschlecht zu bringen
Wegen eines Sterblichen Schuld. 1
730
Wohl frommen die Sagen des Schreckens,
Daß der Sterbliche ehre die Götter,
Die du vergessend, den Mann
Mordest, mit dem du die edlen Geschwister zeugtest.
Ha, Freundinnen!
