But Juno proceeded hastily to Gargarus, the summit of lofty Ida, and cloud-compelling Jove beheld her. But the instant he beheld her, that instant[475] desire entirely shadowed around his august mind, just as when they first were united in love, retiring to the bed, without the knowledge of their dear parents. And he stood before her, and spoke, and addressed her:

"Wherefore hastening from Olympus, Juno, comest thou hither, but thy horses and chariot are not near, which thou mayest ascend."

[Footnote 475: Cf. Theocrit. ii. 82: [Greek: Os idon, os emanen, os meu peri Thymos iaphthe]. iii. 42: [Greek: Os idon, os emane]. Ovid, Epist. xii. 33: "Ut vidi, ut perii, nec notis ignibus arsi."]
