Met. 14.91Quippe deum genitor, fraudem et periūria quondam
Cercōpum exōsus gentisque admissa dolōsae,
in dēfōrme virōs animal mūtāvit, ut īdem
dissimilēs hominī possent similēsque vidērī,
95membraque contrāxit nārēsque ā fronte resīmās
contudit et rūgīs perarāvit anīlibus ōra
tōtaque vēlātōs flāventī corpora villō
mīsit in hās sēdēs nec nōn prius abstulit ūsum
verbōrum et nātae dīra in periūria linguae:
100posse querī tantum raucō strīdōre relīquit.For the father of the gods, once detesting the fraud and perjuries of the Cercopes and the crimes of that deceitful race, changed the men into an ugly animal, so that they could seem at once unlike a man and like one; he shrank their limbs and flattened their noses, turned up from the forehead, and furrowed their faces with an old woman's wrinkles, and sent them, their whole bodies covered with yellowish hair, to this abode; and before that he took away the use of words and of the tongue born for dire perjuries: he left them only the power to complain with a hoarse screech.
