‘‘So saying, [do] you add lies to your fault?’’ says Phoebus. ‘‘And [do] you dare wish to deceive the god of prophecy with words?’’

“quī nītitur mendāciīs hic pāscit ventōs: idem autem ipse sequitur avēs volantēs He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away. (Douay-Rheims trans., Challoner rev.; 1752 CE)”
