"There too huge Tityos, whom Earth that gendereth all things, Once foster’d, spreadeth-out o’er nine full roods his immense limbs. On him a wild vulture with hook-beak greedily gorgeth His liver upsprouting quick as that Hell-chicken eateth. Shé diggeth and dwelleth under the vast ribs, her bloody bare neck Lifting anon: ne’er loathes-she the food, ne’er fails the renewal."
