[…] But even as he touched her, he felt her change. […] Change, golden tresses of her hair,    To gold that turns to gray; Change, silent lips, forever fair,    To lips that have their day! […] In a few moments what a change!

Juno became jealous as usual, discovered the object of his affections, and surprised him in the company of Io; a change soon took place in the appearance of the latter, when, through the ‌influence of the God, she assumed the form of a white heifer. […] The changes which this deity was able to make in his appearance, caused the name of Proteus to be synonymous with change.
