from The Faerie Queene
There was Ixion turning on a wheele,
For daring tempt the Queene of heaven to sin:
And Sisyphus an huge round stone did reele
Against an hill, ne might from labour lin:
There thirstie Tantalus hong by the chin;
And Tityus fed a vulture on his maw . . .
– Edmund Spenser (1596)
