XVII

Pallas me docuit texendi nosse laborem:
Nec telam radii poscunt nec licia telae;
Nulla mihi manus est, pedibus tantum omnia fiunt.

Peck:

To weave my web, Pallas herself hath taught,
No shuttle hath my web, no threads are caught,
And with my feet are all its wonders wrought.

Ohl:

Pallas taught me to know the toil of weaving. My garments demand not a shuttle nor the warp its heddle. I have no hands, yet by my feet is everything done.

Give up? Here's the answer.
