Ovid describes Arachne as 
“ One at the loom so exquisitely skill’d 
That to the goddess she refused to yield. 
Low was her birth, and small her town. 
She from her art alone obtained renown.” 
“ Providence,” says Moore, “ would only 
enter mankind into the useful knowledge of 
her treasures, leaving the rest to employ our 
leisures.”
