At last a pleasant river's mouth he finds,
Free from rough clifts, safe from disturbing winds.
Homer His Odysses Translated (1665)
Then in a chair, with a rich cushion grac'd
And a carv'd foot-stool, he Minerva plac'd.
There 'gainst a column sets her lance, where stood
Ulysses' javelins, planted like a wood.
Homer His Odysses Translated (1665)
There had his flesh been rent, fractur'd his bones,
'Mongst rowling pebbles, and sharp pointed stones.
Homer His Odysses Translated (1665)
Their oars I bid them ply, their lives to save,
Death at their heels: they brush the briny wave,
And soon our ship the open sea enjoy'd;
But all the rest the Læstrigons destroy'd.
Homer His Odysses Translated (1665)
These Heaven decrees, and ever-fixed Fate.
But say, blest prophet, and the truth relate;
I see my mother's shade, who not her son
Will speak to, nor so much as look upon:
Silent she sits by sacred blood: ah, how
May she, poor shadow! her dear offspring know?
Homer His Odysses Translated (1665)
