Book 9.98-106
Jupiter told Cybele that there would be a time when he would rescue the wood and turn them into Nymphs after they have served their purpose.
Immo ubi defunctae finem portusque tenebunt
98
Ausonios olim, quaecumque evaserit undis
99
Dardaniumque ducem Laurentia vexerit arva,
100
mortalem eripiam formam magnique iubebo
101
aequoris esse deas, qualis Nereia Doto
102
et Galatea secant spumantem pectore pontum.”
103
Dixerat idque ratum Stygii per flumina fratris,
104
per pice torrentis atraque voragine ripas
105
adnuit et totum nutu tremefecit Olympum.
