τὴν δ' ἠμείβετ' ἔπειτα πατὴρ ἀνδρῶν τε θεῶν τε:
Ἥρη: μὴ δὴ πάντας ἐμοὺς ἐπιέλπεο μύθους
εἰδήσειν: χαλεποί τοι ἔσοντ' ἀλόχῳ περ ἐούσῃ:
ἀλλ' ὃν, μέν κ' ἐπιεικὲς ἀκουέμεν, οὔ τις ἔπειτα
οὔτε θεῶν πρότερος τόν γ' εἴσεται οὐτ' ἀνθρώπων:
ὃν δέ κ' ἐγὼν, ἀπάνευθε θεῶν, ἐθέλοιμι νοῆσαι.
μή τι σὺ ταῦτα ἕκαστα διείρεο μὴ δὲ μετάλλά.
In answer to her spoke the father of men and gods: "Hera, do not hope to know all my words: ard will they prove for you, though you are my wife. Whatever it is fitting for you to hear, this none other shall know before you, whether of gods or men; but what I wish to devise apart from the gods, of all this do not in any way inquire nor ask."
