Henry Wadsforth Longfellow: The Masque of Pandora (1875)

Prometheus:
Epimetheus! Is it then in vain
That I have warned thee?
Let me now implore.
Thou harborest in thy house a dangerous guest.

Epimetheus:
Whom the Gods love
They honour with such guests.

Prometheus:
Whom the Gods would destroy
They first make mad.
