  • The raven once in snowy plumes was drest,
    White as the whitest dove's unsullied breast,
    Fair as the guardian of the Capitol,
    Soft as the swan; a large and lovely fowl
    His tongue, his prating tongue had changed him quite
    To sooty blackness from the purest white.

    Ovid (1833). “Ovid”, p.56
