IV.—Saturn.

And Saturn the old, if he is a god, how does he grow old?  Or if he was a god, why was he driven by his terrors to devour his children?  But because he was not a god, he consumed the bowels of his sons in a monstrous madness.  He was a king upon earth, born in the mount Olympus; and he was not divine, but called himself a god.  He fell into weakness of mind, and swallowed a stone for his son.  Thus he became a god; of late he is called Jupiter.

IV.---SATURNUS.

Saturnusque senex; si deus, quando senescit? Aut si deus erat, cur natos ille vorabat 0204B Terroribus actus? sed quia deus non erat ille Viscera natorum rabie monstrosa sumebat. Rex fuit in terris, in monte natus Olympo; Nec divinus erat, sed deum sese dicebat. Venit inops animi lapidem pro filio sorpsit. Sic deus evasit: dicitur modo Juppiter ille.
