Book of the Odyssees of Homer, translated by George Chapman.

6
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:28,199
The argument by Mercury, the wooer's souls are ushered to

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,320
the infernal pools Ulysses, with Laertes met. The people are

8
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:37,119
an uproar set against them for the wooer's ends, whom

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Pallas stays and renders friends. Another argument Omega, the uproars fire,

10
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:49,240
the people's fall. The grand sire sire and son to

11
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:54,840
all Silenian Hermes, with his golden rod. The wooer's souls,

12
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,920
that yet retained abode amidst their bodies, called in dreadful

13
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:03,880
route forth the infernals, who came murmuring out, and as

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,200
amidst the desolate retreat of some vast cavern made the

15
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:12,719
sacred seat of austere spirits. Bats with breasts and wings

16
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,319
clasped fast the walls and each to other clings, but

17
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,400
swept off from their coverts up they rise and fly

18
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,319
with murmurs in a mazeful guise about the cavern. So

19
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:30,519
these grumbling rows and flock together. Down before them goes

20
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,319
none hurting mercury to Hell's broadways, and straight to those

21
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:39,400
straits where the ocean stays his lofty current In calm

22
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,040
deeps they flew. Then to the snowy rock They next withdrew,

23
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:47,719
and to the close of Phoebus's orient gates the nation

24
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,920
then of dreams, and then the states of those souls

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200
idols that the weary dead gave up in earth, which,

26
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:58,480
in a flowery mead had habitable situation. And there they

27
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:03,519
saw the soul of Thetesus, son of good Patrocolus, brave Antelicus,

28
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:07,760
and Ajax, the supremely strenuous of all the Greek's hosts.

29
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,639
Next Pelion, all which assembled about Maya's son, and to them,

30
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,319
then after came the mournful ghost of Agamemnon, with all

31
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,159
those he lost in false Egistus's court. Achilles, then beholding

32
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,240
there the mighty king of men deplored his plight, and

33
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:30,039
said o Atrius's son of all heroes, all opinion gave

34
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,840
thee for Joves, most loved since most command of all

35
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:37,159
the Greeks. He gave thy eminent hand at siege of Ilion,

36
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:41,319
where we suffered so and is the issue this that

37
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,319
first in woe stern Fate did therefore set thy sequel down.

38
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:50,120
None born past others fates can pass his own. I

39
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:52,680
wish to Heaven that, in the height of all our

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,680
pomp at ileon, fate had signed thy fall, that all

41
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,840
the Greeks might have advanced to thee a famous sepulcher

42
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,159
and fame might see thy son given honor in thy

43
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,280
honored end. But now a wretched death did fate extend

44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,280
to thy confusion and thy issue's shame? O Thettus's son

45
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:16,639
said he the vital flame extinct at Ilion, far from

46
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,400
the argive fields. The style of blessed to thy virtue

47
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:24,159
yields about thy fall. The best of Greece and Troy

48
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,159
were sacrificed to slaughter. Thy just joy, conceived in battle

49
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280
with some worth forgot in such a death as Great

50
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:36,759
Apollo shot at thy encounters. Thy brave person lay hid

51
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:40,639
in a dusty whirlwind that made way with human breaths.

52
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,919
Spent in thy ruined state, Thou great were greatly valued

53
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,599
in thy fate. All day we fought about THEE, nor

54
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,919
at all had seized our conflict, had not jove let

55
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,400
fall a storm that forced off our unwilling feet. But

56
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,240
having brought THEE from the fight to fleet, thy glorious

57
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,199
person bathed and balmed. We lay aloft a bed, and

58
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,479
round about THEE paid the Greeks warm tears to thy

59
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,919
deplored decease, quite daunted, cutting all their curls increase thy

60
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,599
death grave of divine voice through the seas that started

61
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,879
up thy mother from the waves, and all the marine

62
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,519
godheads left their caves, consorting to our fleet her wrapt repair.

63
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,399
The Greeks stood frighted to see sea and air and

64
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,759
earth combine. So in thy loss's sense had taken ship

65
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,879
and fled forever. Thence if Old, much knowing Nestor had

66
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,920
not stayed their rushing off his counsels, having swayed in

67
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,319
all times former with such cause their courses, who bade

68
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,839
contain themselves and trust their forces, For all they saw

69
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:52,839
was Thetis come from sea with others of the watery progeny,

70
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,720
to see and mourn for her deceased son, which stayed

71
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:00,600
the fears that all to flight had won. Round about

72
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,879
thee stood the old sea god seeds, wretchedly mourning their

73
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:09,279
are mortal weeds, spreading upon thee. All the sacred nine

74
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:13,600
of deathless muses paid thee dues divine by varied turns,

75
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:18,800
their heavenly voices, venting all in deep passion for thy death, consenting,

76
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,079
and then of all our army, not an eye you

77
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:25,720
could have seen undrowned in misery the moving muse so

78
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:30,240
ruled in every mind full seventeen days and nights our

79
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,319
tears confined to celebration of thy mornidende, both men and

80
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:39,879
gods did in thy moan contend. The eighteenth day we

81
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,439
spent about thy heap of dying fire, black oxen, fat

82
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:48,879
as sheep, we slew past number, Then the precious spoil

83
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,800
thy course we took up, which with floods of oil

84
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:56,439
and pleasant honey we embalmed, and then wrap thee in

85
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,920
those robes that the gods did rain, in which we

86
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,000
gave THEE to the hallowed flame, to which a number

87
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,279
of heroical name as pressed to sacrifice their vital right

88
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,399
to thy dead ruins. While so bright they burned both

89
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:14,240
foot and horse break in and fought and mourned in

90
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:18,879
infinite tumult. But when all the night the rich flame lasted,

91
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,800
and that wasted quite thy body was with the enamored fire.

92
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,519
We came in early morn, and an entire collection made

93
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,480
of every ivory bone, which washed in wine and given

94
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,920
fit unction. A two eared bowl of gold thy mother

95
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,480
gave by Bacchus given her and did form receive from

96
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,439
Bolcan's famous hand, which O renowned, Great Fetis's son. With

97
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:46,839
thy fair bones we crowned, mixed with the bones of

98
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:52,120
Menethiodes and brave Antelicus, who, in decease of thy Petrocolus,

99
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:57,160
was thy favor's deer about thee. Then a matchless sepulcher,

100
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:01,720
the sacred host of the Achaeans, raised the hellaspont, where

101
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,560
most it seized for height and conspicuity the eyes of

102
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,680
living men and their posterities. Thy mother then obtained the

103
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,959
Greek's consent to institute an honored game that spent the

104
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:18,360
best approvement of our Grecian fames, in whose praise I

105
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:22,680
must say that many games about hero sepulchers mine eyes

106
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,120
have seen performed, but these bore off the prize with

107
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,360
miracles to me from all before in which thy silver

108
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:34,680
footed mother bore the institution's name. But thy deserts, being

109
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:39,120
great with heaven, caused all the eminent parts. And thus

110
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,240
through all the worst effects of fate, Achilles, fame, even

111
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,920
death shall propagate, while anyone shall lend the light and eye,

112
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,000
divine eosities shall never die. But wherein can these comforts

113
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,160
be conceived as rites to me? When having quite achieved

114
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,759
an end with safety and with conquest to view of

115
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,839
so unmatched a war, what none could do of all

116
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,120
our enemies. There at home a friend and wife have

117
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:11,959
given me in glorious end. While these thus spake the

118
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,360
argus killing spy brought near Ulysses noble victory to their

119
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:20,519
renewed discourse. In all the ends the wars suffered, and

120
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,759
showed those his friends whom now amaze invaded with the

121
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:29,519
view and made give back. Yet Agamemnon knew Melanthius's heir

122
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,480
much famed, and Femidon, who had in Ithaca a guest

123
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,120
favor shown to great Atrides, who first spake and said,

124
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:42,039
and Femidon, what sufferance hath been laid on your alive parts,

125
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,879
that hath made you make this land of darkness, the

126
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,600
retreat you take so altogether, all being like in years,

127
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:52,879
Nor would a man have choosed of all the peers

128
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:55,919
of city honors men to make a part more strong

129
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,960
for any object. Hath your smart been felt from Neptune

130
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,960
being at sea, his wrath, the winds and waves exciting

131
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,919
to your scathe. Or have offensive men imposed this fate

132
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,440
your oxen driving, or your flock's estate, or for your

133
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,759
city fighting, and your wives have deaths untimely seized your

134
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:21,399
best timed lives. Inform me truly, I was once your guest,

135
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,600
when I and Menelaus had professed first arms for Ilion,

136
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:29,279
and were come ashore on Ithaca with purpose to implore

137
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,200
Ulysses aide that city racing man in wreek of the

138
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:38,200
adulterous Phrygian, retain not you the time a whole month's

139
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:41,120
date we spent at sea in hopes to instigate in

140
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,679
our arrival oldly aerte son, whom hardly yet to our

141
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:51,639
design we won, the soul made answer worthiest king of men.

142
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:55,559
I well remember every passage then you now reduced to thought,

143
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,039
and will relate the truth in whole form of our

144
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,080
timeless fate. We wooed the wife of that long absent king, who,

145
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240
though her second marriage were a thing of most hate

146
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,840
to her, she would yet deny at no part our affections,

147
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,039
nor comply with any in performance, but decreed in her

148
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,320
delays the cruel fates we feed her craft. Was this

149
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,600
she undertook to weave a funeral garment, destined to receive

150
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,679
the course of old larities, being a task of infinite labor,

151
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,480
and which time would ask, in midst of whose attempt

152
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,440
she caused our stay with this attraction, youths that come

153
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,440
in way of honored nuptials to me, though my lord

154
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,039
abide amongst the dead, yet cease to board my choice

155
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,879
for present nuptials, and sustain lest what is past me

156
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,080
of this web be vane till all receive perfection. Tis

157
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,159
a weed disposed to wrap in at his funeral need

158
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,639
the old Larities, who possessing much, would, in his want

159
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,080
of rights as fitting touch my honor highly with each

160
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,039
vulgar dame the spagshee and persuaded and her frame. All

161
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:10,159
day she labored her day's work, not small, but every

162
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:14,600
night time she unwrought at all three years continuing this

163
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,919
imperfect task. But when the fourth year came, her slights

164
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,080
could mask in no more covert, since her trust had

165
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:27,399
made her whole deceit to our true note betrayed, with which, surprised,

166
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:31,120
she could no more protract her work's perfection, but gave

167
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:35,480
end exact to what remained, washed up, and set thereon

168
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,279
a gloss so bright that like the sun and moon,

169
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,919
the whole work showed together. And when now of mere

170
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,039
necessity her honored vow she must make good to us.

171
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,200
Ill fortune brought to Ulysses home, who yet gave none

172
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,639
one thought of his arrival, But far off at field

173
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,000
lived with his herdsman, nor his trust would yield note

174
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:59,480
of his person, but lived there as guests, ragged as

175
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:04,080
a beggar in that life profess'd. At length, Telemachus left

176
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,159
Pylos's sand, and with a ship fetched soon his native land.

177
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:12,120
When yet not homie went, but laid his way up

178
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:15,440
to his herdsman, where his father lay, and where both

179
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,240
laid our deaths. To town. Then bore the swineherd and

180
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,679
his king the Swain before Telemachus, in other ways bestowed

181
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,879
his course home, first to associate us that wood the

182
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,919
swain the king led after, who came on ragged and wretched,

183
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,720
and still leaned upon a borrowed staff. At length he

184
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,559
reached his home, where on the sudden and so wretched

185
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:43,360
come nor we, nor much our elders once did dream

186
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,519
of his return there, but did wrongs extreme of words,

187
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,519
and blows to him, all which he bore with that

188
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:54,320
old patience he had learned before. But when the mind

189
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120
of Jove had raised his own his son, and he

190
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,399
fetched all their armor down, fast locked the doors, and

191
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,840
to prepare their use, he willed his wife for first

192
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,519
mean to produce his bow to us to draw, of

193
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,679
which no one could stir the string himself. Yet set

194
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:16,320
upon the deadly strength it held, drew all with ease,

195
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,200
shot through the steels, and then began to seize our

196
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,159
armless bosoms, striking first the breast of King Antinous, and

197
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:29,039
then the rest in heaps. Turned over, hopeful of his end,

198
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,559
because some god he knew stood firm his friend, nor

199
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:36,399
prov'd it worse with him. But all in flood. The

200
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,360
pavement straight blushed with our vital blood. And thus our

201
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,600
souls came here, our bodies laid neglected in his roofs

202
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,120
no word conveyed to any friend to take us home,

203
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,080
and give our wounds fit balming, nor let such as

204
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,879
live and tomb our deaths, and for our fortunes, shed

205
00:13:55,919 --> 00:14:00,279
those tears and death rights that renown the dead. A

206
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:05,360
trite's ghost gave answer, Oh, blessed son of old Laertes,

207
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:10,000
thou at length hast one with mighty virtue, thy unmatched wife,

208
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,600
How good a knowledge, how untouched a life hath wise Penelope,

209
00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:18,159
how well she laid her husband's rights up, whom she

210
00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:22,480
lov'd a maid for which her virtues shall extend applause

211
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:27,039
beyond the circle's frail mortality draws the deathless in this

212
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,600
veil of death, comprising her praise in numbers into infinite's rising.

213
00:14:32,279 --> 00:14:36,360
The daughter tin Darius Begat begot no such chaste thoughts,

214
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,399
but cut the virgin nought that knit her spouse and

215
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:44,240
her with murderous swords, for which posterities shall put hateful

216
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:47,320
words to notes of her, that all her sext defam'd,

217
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,639
and for her ill shall even the good be blam'd.

218
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,159
To this effect, these these digressions made in hell Earth's dark,

219
00:14:56,279 --> 00:15:00,679
and ever hiding shade, Ulysses and his son past the

220
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,960
town soon reached the field elaborately grown by Old Laert's labor.

221
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,960
When with cares for his lost son, he left all

222
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:12,679
court affairs and took to this rude upland, which with

223
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:16,879
toil he made a sweet and habitable soil, where stood

224
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,120
a house to him, about which ran in turnings thick

225
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:24,639
and labyrinthian poor hovels, where his necessary men that did

226
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:28,200
those works of pleasure to him, then might sit and

227
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,159
eat and sleep in his own house. An old Sicilian

228
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,039
dame lived studious to serve his sour age with her

229
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,559
cheerful pains. Then said, Ulysses to his son and swains,

230
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,039
go you to town, and for your dinner kill the

231
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,080
best swine ye can choose. Myself will still stay with

232
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,440
my father, and to say his eye if my acknowledged

233
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:55,440
truth it can descry, or that my long time's travel

234
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:58,639
doth so change my sight to him, that I appear

235
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,200
as strange. Thus gave he arms to them, and home

236
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:07,720
they hide, Ulysses to the fruitful field applied his present place,

237
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:11,799
Nor found he Dolius there, his sons, or any servant

238
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:15,519
anywhere in all that spacious ground. All gone from thence

239
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:18,840
were dragging bushes to a pair of fence. Old Dolius

240
00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:22,919
leading all, Ulysses found his father far above in that

241
00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:26,840
fair ground, employed in pointing of a plant, his weeds

242
00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:30,600
all torn and tattered, fit for homely deeds, but not

243
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:34,480
for him. Upon his legs he wore patched boots to

244
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:38,480
guard him from the bramble's gore. His hands had thorn

245
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,240
proof hedging mittens. On his head, a goat skin cask,

246
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,639
through all which shone his heart given over to abjectist

247
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:51,559
moan him. When Ulysses saw, consumed with age and all

248
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,919
the ensigns on him, that the rage of grief presented,

249
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,120
he brake out in tears, and taking stand then, where

250
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,279
tree of pears shot high his forehead over him. His

251
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,440
mind had much contention, if to yield to kind, make

252
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,759
straightway to his father, kiss, embrace, tell his return, and

253
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,599
put on all the face and fashion of his instant,

254
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,640
Told return, or stay the impulsion and the long day

255
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,920
burn of his quite lost given in his father's fear,

256
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:25,200
a little longer, trying first his cheer with some free dalliance,

257
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,240
the earnest being so near, this course his choice preferred,

258
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:34,480
and forth he went his father. Then, his aged shoulders

259
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:38,720
bent beneath what years had stooped about a tree busily digging,

260
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,200
Oh old man, said he. You want no skill to

261
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:46,640
dress and deck your ground. For all your plants doth

262
00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:51,680
ordered distance bound. No apple, pear or olive figure, vine,

263
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,880
nor any plat or quarter you can find to grass

264
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,680
or flower stands empty of your care, which shows exact

265
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,079
in each peculiar and yet which let not move you.

266
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:06,400
You bestow no care upon yourself though to this show

267
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,160
of outward irksomeness to what you are, your labor with

268
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,880
an inward froward care, which is your age that should

269
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,839
wear all without more neat and cherishing. I make no

270
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,440
doubt that any sloth you use procures your Lord to

271
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:24,119
let an old man go so much abhorred in all

272
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,960
his weeds, nor shines there in your look a fashion

273
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,519
and a goodliness. So took with abject qualities to merit

274
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:35,759
this nasty entreaty. Your resemblance is a very king's and

275
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,920
shines through this retreat you look like one that, having

276
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,720
washed and eat, should sleep securely, lying, sweet and neat.

277
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,599
It is the ground of age when cares abuse it

278
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:52,200
to no life's end, and as tis sweet. So use it,

279
00:18:53,079 --> 00:18:56,000
but utter truth and tell what lord is he that

280
00:18:56,079 --> 00:18:59,440
rates your labor and your liberty. Whose orchard is it

281
00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:02,559
that you have husband? Thus? Or quit me this doubt,

282
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,599
For if Ithacus this kingdom claims for his the man

283
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,960
I found at first arrival here is hardly sound of

284
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,079
brain or civil not enduring stay to tell nor hear

285
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,960
me my inquiry. Out of that my friend, if still

286
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,039
he bore about his life in being, or were dived

287
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:23,759
to death, and in the house of him that harboreth

288
00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:27,039
the souls of men, for once he liv'd my guest,

289
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,799
my land and house, retaining interest in his abode there

290
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,920
where there sojourned none as guest from any foreign region

291
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,240
of more price with me. He deriv'd his race from Ithaca,

292
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,640
and said his father was Laertes, surnamed Arceesiodes. I had

293
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,319
him home, and all the offices perform'd to him that

294
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,160
fitted any friend whose proof I did. To wealthy gifts

295
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,799
extend seven talents gold, a bowl all silver, set with

296
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,599
pots of flowers, twelve robes that had no pleat, twelve

297
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,559
cloaks or mantles of delicious dye, twelve inner weeds, twelve

298
00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:09,599
suits of tapestry. I gave him likewise women skilled in

299
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:12,920
use of loom and needle, freeing him to choose for

300
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:19,359
the most fair. His father, weeping, said, stranger, The earth

301
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,839
to which you are conveyed is ithaca by such rude men, possessed,

302
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,920
unjust and insolent, as first addressed to your encounter. But

303
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,640
the gifts you gave were given alas to the ungrateful grave,

304
00:20:33,559 --> 00:20:36,640
If with his people, when you now arrive, your fate

305
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,119
had been to find your friend alive, you should have found,

306
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:43,880
like guest writes from his hand, like gifts and kind

307
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
pasted your wished land. But how long since received you

308
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,000
for your guest, your friend, my son, who was the

309
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,519
unhappiest of all men breathing, if he were at all

310
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,519
oh born, when fates and ill aspects let fall a

311
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:02,440
cruel influence for him, him far away from friends and country,

312
00:21:02,519 --> 00:21:06,960
destined to allay the sea bred appetites, or left ashore

313
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,640
to be by fowls and upland monsters, tor his life's

314
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,640
kind authors, nor his wealthy wife, bemoaning as behooved his

315
00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:19,920
parted life, nor closing as in Honor's course, it lies

316
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,960
to all men dead embed his dying eyes. But give

317
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:27,119
me knowledge of your name and race, What city bred

318
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,000
you where the anchoring place your ship now rides at

319
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:34,960
lies that shored you here, and where your men, or

320
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,799
if a passenger and other keels you came, who giving

321
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,599
land to your adventures here some other strand to fetch

322
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,799
in further course, have left to us your welcome presence.

323
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,680
His reply was, thus, I am of a lebandi, where

324
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,440
I hold my name's chief house, to much renown, extolled

325
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,279
my father Affidantes, famed to spring from Paula Piemen, the

326
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,200
Molossian king, my name Appiratus. My taking land on this

327
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,720
fair isle was ruled by the command of God or fortune,

328
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,720
quite against consent of my free purpose, that in course

329
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,519
was bent for the vile Sicania. My ship is held

330
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:19,640
far from the city, near an ample field, and for ulysses.

331
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,119
Since his pass from me tis now five years unblessed

332
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,480
by destiny, that all this time hath had the fate

333
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:31,599
to air. Though at his parting good birds did augur

334
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,279
his putting off, and on his right hand flew which

335
00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:39,960
to his passage. My affection drew his spirit joyful, and

336
00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:42,720
my hope was now to guest with him and see

337
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,880
his hand bestow rites of our friendship. This a cloud

338
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,599
of grief, cast over all the forces of his life

339
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:53,039
with both his hands. The burning dust he swept up

340
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,079
from the earth, which on his head he heaped and

341
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,839
fetched a sigh, as in it life were broke, which

342
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,279
reeved his son, and gave so smart a stroke upon

343
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,559
his nostrils with the inward stripe, that up the vein

344
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,039
rose there, and weeping ripe he was to see his

345
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,079
sire feel such woe for his dissembled joy, which now

346
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,400
let go. He sprung from earth, embraced and kissed his sire,

347
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,279
and said, oh, father, he of whom ye inquire, am

348
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,880
I myself that from you twenty years is now returned.

349
00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:31,440
But do not break in tears, for now we must

350
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:35,119
not forms of kind maintain, but haste and guard the

351
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,920
substance I have slain all my wife's woors, so revenging

352
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,680
now their wrong, so long time suffered. Take not you

353
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:46,480
the comfort of my coming then to heart at this

354
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,920
glad instant but improved dessert of your grave judgment, Give

355
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:54,920
moan glad suspense, and on the sudden put this consequence

356
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:58,680
in act as absolute as all time went to ripening

357
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,920
of your resolute ascent. All this haste made not his

358
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,039
staid faith so free to trust his words, who said,

359
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:11,400
if you are he approve it by some sign this

360
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:15,400
scar then see replied Ulysses given me by the bore

361
00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:19,559
slain in Parnassus, I being sent before, by yours and

362
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,440
by my honored mother's will, to see your sire Atolicus

363
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,279
fulfill the gifts he vowed at giving of my name.

364
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,359
I tell you too the trees and goodly frame of

365
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,720
this fair orchard that I asked of you, being yet

366
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:37,240
a child, and followed for your show and name of

367
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,279
every tree you gave me, then of fig trees, forty

368
00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:46,720
apple bear's, ten pear trees, thirteen and fifty ranks of vine,

369
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,440
each one of which a season did confine for his

370
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,519
best eating. Not a grape did grow that grew not there,

371
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,240
and had his heavy brow. When Jove's fair daughters the

372
00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:02,880
all ripening hours gave time date to it. This charged

373
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,680
the powers both of his knees in heart with such

374
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,279
impression of sudden comfort that it gave possession of all

375
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,119
to trance. The signs were all so true, and did

376
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,519
the love that gave them so renewed. He cast his

377
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,079
arms about his son and sunk the circle slipping to

378
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,920
his feet, so shrunk were all his age's forces. With

379
00:25:24,039 --> 00:25:28,000
the fire of his young love rekindled the old sire.

380
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,559
The sun took up, quite lifeless, but his breath again respiring,

381
00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:36,519
and his soul from death, his body's power recovering out.

382
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:40,759
He cried and said, Oh Jupiter, I now have tried

383
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:44,480
that still there live in heaven, remembering gods of men

384
00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:47,319
that serve them. Though the periods they set on their

385
00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:51,720
appearances are long in best men's sufferings. Yet as sure

386
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:56,200
as strong they are in comforts, be their strange delays extended,

387
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:59,920
never so from days to days. Yet see the short

388
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,440
joys or the soon mixed fears of helps withheld by

389
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,839
them so many years. For if the wooers now have

390
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,640
paid the pain due to their impious pleasures, now again

391
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,279
extreme fear takes me lest we straight shall see the

392
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,839
Ithachensians here in mutiny, their messengers dispatched to win to

393
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,079
friend the Cephalian cities. Do not spend your thoughts on

394
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,160
these cares, said his suffering son, But be of comfort

395
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,400
and see that course run that best may shun the worst.

396
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:34,559
Our house is near Telemachus and both his herdsmen there

397
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,599
to dress our supper with their utmost haste, and thither

398
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:42,720
haste we this said. Forth they passed, came home and

399
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:47,000
found Telemachus at feast with both his swains, while who

400
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:51,359
had done all dressed with baths and balms, and royally arrayed.

401
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,119
The old king was by a Sicilian maid, by whose

402
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,119
side Pallas stood, his crooked age, straightening, his flesh more plumping,

403
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,880
and his looks enlightening. Who, issuing then to view his son,

404
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,119
admired the god's aspects into his form, inspired and said, O, Father,

405
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,759
certainly some God, by your addression in this state hath

406
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:18,200
stood more great more Reverend, rendering you by far at

407
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,200
all your parts than of yourself you are. I would

408
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,880
to Jove, said he the son and she that bears

409
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,359
Jove's shield. The state had stood with me, that helped

410
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,880
me take in the well builded towers of strong Neurchus,

411
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:37,640
the Cephalian powers to that fair city. Leading two days passed,

412
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:41,519
while with the wars thy conflict did last, and I

413
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,640
had then been in the war's reek, I should have

414
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,359
helped thee so to render weak their stubborn knees, that

415
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,759
in thy joy's dessert, thy breast had been too little

416
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:55,920
for thy heart, this said, and supper ordered by their men,

417
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,680
they sat to it. Old Dolius entering then, and with

418
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:04,000
him tried with labor. His sons came called by their mother,

419
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,000
the Sicilian dame, that brought them up and dressed their

420
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:11,240
father's fair as whose age grew with it increased her

421
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:14,680
care to see him served as fitted. When thus set

422
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:18,319
these men beheld ulysses. There at meat, they knew him,

423
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,960
and astonished in the place stood at his presence, who

424
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,319
with words of grace, called to Old Dolius, saying, come

425
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,680
and eat, and banish all astonishment. Your meat hath long

426
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,799
been ready, and ourselves made stay, expecting ever when your

427
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:37,960
wished way would reach amongst us. This brought fiercely on

428
00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:41,880
Old Dolius from his stand, who ran upon with both

429
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,640
his arms abroad the king, and kissed of both his

430
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:51,039
wrapped up hands the either wrist, thus welcoming his presence. Oh,

431
00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:54,640
my love, your presence here for which all wishes strove

432
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,480
no one expected. Even the gods have gone and guide

433
00:28:58,519 --> 00:29:02,240
before you to your mansion. Welcome and all joys to

434
00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:06,720
your heart. Contend nose yet, Penelope, or shall we send

435
00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:09,799
some one to tell her this she knows, said he,

436
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,480
what need these troubles? Father touch at thee. Then came

437
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,480
the sons of Dolius, and again went over with their

438
00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:22,440
father's entertain welcomed, shook hands, and then to feast, sat

439
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:26,480
down about which while they sat about the town, fame

440
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:30,079
flew and shrieked about the cruel death and fate the

441
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:35,200
wars had sustained beneath Ulysses ruffs all heard together all

442
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,960
from hands, and thence met in Ulysses Hall, short breathed

443
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,480
and noiseful, bore out all the dead to instant burial,

444
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,640
while their deaths were spread to other neighbor's cities where

445
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,599
they lived from whence In's swiftest fisher boats arrived men

446
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,920
to transfer them home. In mean space. Here the heavy nobles,

447
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,759
all in council were where met in much heap up

448
00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:01,720
to all arows. Extremely grieved Euptheus so to lose his

449
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:06,000
son Antinomus, who first of all, by great Ulysses hand

450
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:11,319
had Slaughtraus fall, whose father, weeping for him, said, O friends.

451
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,079
This man hath authored works of dismal ends, long since,

452
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,599
conveying in his Guide to Troy, good men and many

453
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,319
that did ships employ all which are lost, and all

454
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:27,559
the soldiers dead, and now the best men Cephalinia bread

455
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,559
his hand hath slaughtered. Go we then, before his escape

456
00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:34,799
to Pylos or the alien shore where rule the Epians,

457
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:39,359
gainst his horrid hand, for we shall grieve, and infamy

458
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,799
will brand our fames forever if we see our sons

459
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:47,480
and brothers end in these confusions revenge left uninflicted. Nor

460
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:50,799
will I enjoy one day's life more, but grieve and

461
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,039
die with instant onset. Nor should you survive to keep

462
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:59,200
a base and beastly name alive. Haste then, lest flight

463
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:03,960
prevent us. This with tears, his griefs advised and made

464
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:08,160
all sufferers in his affliction. But by this was come

465
00:31:08,359 --> 00:31:11,559
up to the Council from Ulysses home, when sleep had

466
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,119
left them, which their slaughters there and their self dangers

467
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,920
from their eyes in fear, had two nights intercepted those

468
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
two men that just Ulysses saved out of the slain,

469
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,759
which Medon and the Sacred Singer. Were these stood amidst

470
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:29,640
the council and the fear. The slaughter had impressed in

471
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,559
either's look, struck still so ghastly that amaze it struck

472
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,160
through every there beholder, to whose ears one thus enforced

473
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:43,240
in his fright cause of theirs attend me Ithacensians. This

474
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:46,359
stern fact done by Ulysses was not put in act

475
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,799
without the God's assistance. These self eyes saw one of

476
00:31:50,839 --> 00:31:55,200
the immortal deities close by ulysses Mentor's form put on

477
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:59,759
at every part, and this sure deity shone now near Ulysses,

478
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:03,960
setting on his bold and slaughterus spirit. Now the points

479
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,640
controlled of all the war's weapons round about the armed house,

480
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,279
whisking in continual route their party pudding, till in heaps

481
00:32:12,279 --> 00:32:16,960
they fell. This news new fears did through their spirits

482
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:22,400
impel one Hallithairsees honored Master's son, who of them all

483
00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:25,559
sought only what was done, a present and future. The

484
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,640
much knowing man and aged hero, this plain course ran

485
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,039
amongst their counsels. Give me likewise ear, and let me

486
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,880
tell ye friends that these ills bear on your malignant

487
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,920
spleens their sad effects. Who not what I persuaded gave respects,

488
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,519
nor what the people's pastor Mentor said that you should

489
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:51,519
see your issues folly stayed in those foul courses. By

490
00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:55,559
their petulant life. The goods, devouring, scandaling the wife of

491
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,599
no mean person, who they still would say, could never

492
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,039
more see his returning day, which yet appearing. Now, now

493
00:33:04,119 --> 00:33:07,680
give it trust and yield to my free counsels. Do

494
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:10,960
not thrust your own safe persons on axe, your sons

495
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,920
so dearly bought, lest their confusions on your loved heads,

496
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,440
your like addictions. Draw this stood so far from force

497
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,319
of any law to curb their loose attempts. That much

498
00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:25,720
the more they rushed to reek and made rude tumult roar.

499
00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:30,079
The greater part of all the court arose good counsel

500
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,599
could not ill designs dispose. Eupitheus was persuader of the course,

501
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,079
which complete armed they put in present force. The rest

502
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:43,960
sat still in council. These men met before the broad

503
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,160
town in a place they set all girt in arms. Eupitheus,

504
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,279
choosing chief to all their follies, who put grief to grief,

505
00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:56,519
and in his slaughtered son's revenge, did burn. But fate

506
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,519
gave never feet to his return, ordaining there his life death.

507
00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:04,720
Then Pallas spake to Jove her father, with intent to

508
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:08,320
make his will high arbiter of the act designed, and

509
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:13,199
asked of him what his unsearched mind held undiscovered, if

510
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:17,159
with arms and ill and grave encounter, he would first

511
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:22,360
fulfill his sacred purpose, or both parts combine in peaceful friendship.

512
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:27,559
He asked, why incline these doubts, thy counsels, hast not

513
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:31,199
thou decreed that Ithacus should come and give his deed

514
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,199
the glory of revenge on these and theirs perform thy will?

515
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,280
The frame of these affairs have this fit issue. When

516
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,320
Ulysses hand hath reached full reek, his then renowned command

517
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,400
shall reign forever, faithful truces struck TwixT him and all

518
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,679
for every man shall brook his sons and brothers slaughters

519
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:56,159
by our mien, to send oblivion in expunging clean the

520
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,559
characters of enmity in them all, as in best leagues

521
00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:04,159
before peace, festival and riches in abundance, be the state

522
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,559
that crowns the clothes of wise ulysses fate. This spurred

523
00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:12,639
the free, who from Heaven's continent to the Etocensian isle

524
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:18,360
made straight descent where dinner passed. Ulysses said, some one

525
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,639
look out to see their nearness. Dolius's son made present

526
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,239
speed abroad, and saw them nigh ran back and told

527
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,239
bade arm, and instantly were all in arms. Ulysses' part

528
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,519
was four and six more sons of Dolius, all his power,

529
00:35:35,679 --> 00:35:38,920
two only more which were his aged sire and light

530
00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:43,159
eared Dolius, whose lives slaked fire, all white had left

531
00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:47,239
their heads. Yet, driven by need, made soldiers both of

532
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,639
necessary deed, and now all girt in arms. The ports

533
00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:55,960
set wide, they sallied forth, Ulysses being their guide, and

534
00:35:56,039 --> 00:35:58,960
to them in the instant Pallace came in form and

535
00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:03,679
voice like mental who aflame inspired of comfort in ulysses heart,

536
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,920
with her seen presence to his son apart. He thus

537
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,000
then spake, now, son, your eyes shall see exposed in

538
00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:17,639
slaughtrus fight the enemy, against whom who shall best served

539
00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:21,760
will be seen disgrace. Not then your race, that yet

540
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,559
hath been for force and fortitude, the foremost tried of

541
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:31,639
all earth's offsprings. His true son replied, yourself shall see,

542
00:36:31,639 --> 00:36:35,559
loved father, if you please, that my deservings shall ennos

543
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:40,159
digress from best fame of our race's foremost merit. The

544
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:45,760
old king sprung for joy to hear his spirit, and said, O, love, immortals,

545
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:48,760
what a day do your clear bounties to my life

546
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,000
display I joy past measure to behold my son and

547
00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:58,199
nephew close in such contention of Virtue's martial. Pallas standing near,

548
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,360
said O, my friend of all supremely dear seed of Arcesius,

549
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,039
pray to Jove and her that rules in arms his daughter,

550
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,079
and a dart, sprightfully brandished, hurled at the adverse part.

551
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,039
This said, he prayed, and she a mighty force inspired

552
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:20,119
within him, who gave instant course to his brave, brandish glance,

553
00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:24,800
which struck the brass that cheeked Eupytheus's cask, and thrust

554
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,719
his pass quite through his head, who fell and sounded,

555
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,599
falling his arms. The sound again from Earth recalling Ulysses

556
00:37:33,639 --> 00:37:36,920
and his son rushed on before, and with their both

557
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,480
weight headed darts, did gore their enemy's breasts, so thick

558
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,519
that all had gone the way of slaughter, had not.

559
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,119
Pallas thrown her voice betwixt them, charging all to stay

560
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,840
and spare expense of blood. Her voice did fray the

561
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,039
blood so from their faces that it left a greenish

562
00:37:54,079 --> 00:37:57,840
paleness all their hands at rest of all their weapons,

563
00:37:58,039 --> 00:38:01,159
falling thence to Earth and to the common mother of

564
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,559
their birth, the city all fled in desire to save

565
00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:08,920
the lives, yet left them. Then Ulysses gave a horrid shout,

566
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:13,599
and like Jove's eagle, flew in fiery pursuit till sat Turnius,

567
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:18,079
through his smoking lightning TwixT them that had fall before Minerva,

568
00:38:18,119 --> 00:38:22,320
who then out did call thus to Ulysses, born of Jove,

569
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,480
abstained from further bloodshed, Jove's hand in the slain hath

570
00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:31,239
equaled in their pains, their prides to thee abstained. Then,

571
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:36,400
lest you move the deity again, men TwixT both parts

572
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:40,360
the seat of Jove Athenian Palace of all future love.

573
00:38:40,639 --> 00:38:44,360
A league composed and for her form took choice of

574
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:49,199
mentor's likeness, both in lemon voice. End of the twenty
