00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,480
Recording by Phil Schamp. The Twelfth Book of the Odyssees

5
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:25,239
of Homer, translated by George Chapman. The argument he shows

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,079
from Hell, his safe retreat to the Isle Eea, Circe's seat,

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,920
and how he escape the sirens calls with the erring

8
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:38,479
rocks and waters falls, that Scylla and charybdis break the

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Sun's stolen herds, and his sad wreck both of Ulysses

10
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:45,759
ship and men, his own head, scaping scarce the pain.

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,000
Another argument mew the rocks that aired the sirens call

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,200
the Sun's stolen herd the soldier's fall. Our ship now

13
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,039
passed the straits of the ocean flore Blood. She plowed

14
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:04,920
the broad seas billows and made good the Isle of Eea,

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,760
where the palace stands of the early riser with the

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,959
rosy hands, Act of Aurora, where she loves to dance,

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,319
and where the Sun doth his prime beams advance. When

18
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:19,560
here arrived we drew her up to land and trod

19
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:23,439
ourselves the re saluted sand found on the shore. Fit

20
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:27,400
resting for the night, slept and expected the celestial light.

21
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:31,319
Soon as the white and red mixed fingered dame had

22
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,680
gilt the mountains with her saffron flame, I sent my

23
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,519
men to Circe's house before to fetch the seized alpiner

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,640
to the shore. Straight swelled the high banks with felled

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,519
heaps of trees, and full of tears. We did do

26
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:50,000
exoquies to our dead friend, whose course consumed with fire

27
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,280
and honored arms, whose sepulcher entire, and over that a

28
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:59,200
column raised his oar curiously carved to his desire. Before

29
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,640
upon the top of all his tomb we fixed of

30
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:06,959
all rights fit his funeral pile was mixed. Nor was

31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
our safe assent from hell concealed from Circe's knowledge, nor

32
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,919
so soon revealed. But she was with us, with her

33
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,159
bread and food and ruddy wine wrought by her sacred

34
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:20,719
brood of woods and fountains. In the midst she stood

35
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:25,840
and thus saluted us, unhappy men, that have informed with

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,560
all your senses Ben in Pluto's dismal mansion, you shall

37
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,280
die twice now where others that mortality in her fair

38
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,840
arms holds, shall but once decease, but eat and drink

39
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,479
out all conceit of these. And this day dedicate to

40
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,479
food and wine, the following night to sleep, when next

41
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,000
shall shine the cheerful morning. You shall prove the seas

42
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:54,520
your way, and every act ye must address my knowledge

43
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,319
of their order, shall design lest with your own bad counsels.

44
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,960
Ye incline events as against ye, and sustain by sea

45
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:06,879
and shore the woeful ends that reign in wilful actions.

46
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,280
Thus did she advise, and for the time our fortunes

47
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,240
were so wise to follow wise directions. All that day

48
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:18,560
we sat and feasted. When his lower way the sun

49
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,280
had entered, and the even the high my friends slept

50
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:25,400
on their gables. She and I, led by her fair

51
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,080
hand to place a part by her well sorted, did

52
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,000
too sleep convert our timid powers. When all things fate

53
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,360
let fall in our affair, She asked, I told her all,

54
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,960
to which she answered, these things thus took end. And

55
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,400
now to those that I inform attend, which you, remembering

56
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:47,960
God himself shall be the blessed author of your memory.

57
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:51,800
First to the sirens, ye shall come that taint the

58
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:55,280
minds of all men whom they can acquaint with their attractions.

59
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,840
Whosoever shall, for want of knowledge, moved but hear the

60
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,719
of any siren, he will so despise both wife and

61
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,719
children for their sorceries, that never Home turns his affection stream,

62
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,280
nor they take joy in him, nor he in them.

63
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,439
The sirens will so soften with their song, shrill and

64
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,240
insensual appetite, so strong his loose affections, that he gives

65
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,879
them heed and then observe. They sit amidst a mead,

66
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,600
and round about it runs a hedge or wall of

67
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,839
dead men's bones, Their withered skins in all hung all

68
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,040
along upon it. And these men were such as they

69
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:38,160
had fawned into their fin and then their skins hung

70
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,839
on their hedge of bones. Sail by them, therefore, thy

71
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:46,800
companions beforehand, causing to stop every ear with sweet soft wax,

72
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:50,399
so close that none may hear a note of all

73
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:55,120
their charmings. Yet may you, if you affect it open ear,

74
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:58,600
allow to try their motion. But presume not so to

75
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,319
trust your judgment when your senses go so loose about you.

76
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,639
But give straight command to all your men to bind

77
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,800
you foot in hand sure to the mast, that you

78
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,360
may safe approve how strong an instigation to their love

79
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:16,319
their rapting tunes are. If so much they move, that

80
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,759
spite of all your reason, your will stands to be enfranchised,

81
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,399
both of feet and hands. Charge all your men before

82
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:28,120
to slight your charge, and rest so far from fearing

83
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,680
to enlarge, that much more sure they bind you. When

84
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:35,680
your friends have outsailed these. The danger that transcends rests

85
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,240
not in any council to prevent, unless your own mind

86
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:42,720
finds the tract and bent of that way that avoids it.

87
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:45,920
I can say that in your course there lies a

88
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,639
twofold way, the right of which your own taut present

89
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,920
wit and grace Divine must prompt in general. Yet let

90
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,000
this inform you. Near these sirens shore move two steep

91
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,519
rocks at whose feet lie and roar the black sea's

92
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:06,000
cruel billows. The blessed gods call them the rovers their

93
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,879
abhorred abodes. No bird can pass know not the doves,

94
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,040
whose fears sire Jove so loves that they are said

95
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,600
to bear ambrosia to him. Can their rapine escape? But

96
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:19,120
one of them falls ever to the rape of those

97
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,879
sly rocks. Yet jove. Another still adds to the rest

98
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,959
that so may ever fill the sacred number. Never ship

99
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,519
could shun the nimble peril wing there, but did run

100
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,160
with all her bulk and bodies of her men to

101
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,199
utter ruin. For the seas retain not only their outrageous

102
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,680
easture there, but fierce assistance of particular fear and supernatural mischief.

103
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,279
They expire, and those are whirlwinds of devouring fire whisking about.

104
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,079
Still the argive ship alone, which bore the care of

105
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,480
all men, got her gone come from Arita. Yet perhaps

106
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:58,879
even she had racked at those rocks, if the deity

107
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
that lies by Joe side had not lent her hand

108
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:05,399
to their transmission, Since the man that manned in chief

109
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,279
that voyage, She and Chief did love. Of these two

110
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:12,639
spiteful rocks. The one doth shove against the height of

111
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,480
heaven her pointed brow. A black cloud binds it round

112
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:19,639
and never show lends to the sharp point. Not the

113
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,439
clear blue sky lets ever view it, not the summer's eye,

114
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240
nor fervent autumns. None that death could end, could ever

115
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,160
scale it, or if up descend though twenty hands and feet,

116
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,920
he had for hold of polished ice like glibness, doth

117
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,680
unfold the rock so round whose midst a gloomy cell

118
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,000
shrouds so far westward that it sees to hell. From this,

119
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,600
keep you as far as from his bow, an able

120
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,519
young man can his shaft bestow. For here the wolling

121
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,120
scilla shrouds her face that breathes a voice at all

122
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:57,959
parts no more base than are a newly kittened kittling's

123
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,680
cries her self a man yet of boundless size, whose

124
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,639
sight would nothing please immortal's eyes, no nor the eyes

125
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,680
of any god. If he whom naught should fright, fell

126
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:15,160
foul on her, and she, her full shape showed twelve

127
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,279
foul feet bare about her ugly bulk, six huge long

128
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:22,920
necks look out of her rank shoulders. Every neck doth

129
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,040
let a ghastly head out, every head three set thick,

130
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,360
thrust together of abhorred teeth, and every tooth struck with

131
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,279
a sable death. She lurks in midst of all her den,

132
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,279
and streaks from out a ghastly whirlpool, all her necks

133
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:44,080
where gloating round her rock to fish she falls, and

134
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,600
up rush dolphins, dog fish, some whil's waiales if got

135
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:53,519
within her when a rapine feeds forever groaning, aphatrite breeds

136
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,120
about her whirlpool an unmeasured store. No seaman ever boasted

137
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,000
touch of shore that there touched with his ship, But

138
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:04,159
still she fed on him and his a man, for

139
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,080
every head spoiling his ship. Of you shall then descry

140
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,840
the other humbler rock that moves so nigh your dart

141
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:15,960
may meet the distance it receives. A huge wild fig

142
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:21,279
tree curled with ample leaves, beneath whose shade divine Charybdis sits,

143
00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:25,559
supping the black deeps thrice a day her pitch, she

144
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:29,559
drinking all dry, and thrice a day again all up,

145
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,080
she belches baneful to sustain. When she is drinking, dare

146
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:37,600
not near her draft, for not the force of Neptune,

147
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:41,720
if once caught, can force your freedom. Therefore, in your

148
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,360
strife to escape, Charybdis labor all for life to row

149
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,159
near Scylla. For she will but have for her six heads,

150
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:52,559
six men, and better save the rest than all make

151
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:56,039
offerings to the wave. This need she told me of

152
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,120
my loss, when I desire to know if that necessity,

153
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,879
when I had escape Charybdis's outrages, my powers might not revenge,

154
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:10,200
though not redress. She answered, Oh, unhappy art thou yet

155
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,320
inflamed with war and thirst to drink thy sweat, Not

156
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,279
to the gods give up both arms, and will she deathless? Is?

157
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,759
And that immortal, ill, grave, harsh, outrageous, not to be subdued.

158
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:26,679
That men must suffer till they be renewed, nor lives

159
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,639
there any virtue that can fly the vicious outrage of

160
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,639
their cruelty. Shouldst thou put arms on and approach the rock?

161
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,360
I fear six more must expiate the shock. Six heads,

162
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:42,759
six men ask still hoist sail and fly, And in

163
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:47,320
thy flight aloud on crates cry great Scylla's mother, who

164
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,320
exposed to light the bane of men, And she will

165
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,440
do such right to thy observance that she down will

166
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,240
tread her daughter's rage, nor let her show ahead. From thenceforth,

167
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:02,720
then forever past her, thou shalt ascend the island triangular,

168
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840
where many oxen of the sun are fed, and fatted

169
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,919
flocks of oxen fifty head in every herd feed, and

170
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:13,559
their herds are seven. And of his fat flocks is

171
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:18,080
their number even increase they yield, not, for they never die.

172
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,440
There every shepherdess a deity. Fairfethusa and Lampettia, the lovely

173
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:27,200
nymphs are that their guardians be, who, to the daylight's

174
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,000
lofty going flame, had gracious birthright from the heavenly Dame

175
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,720
still young Na'ira, who brought forth and bred far off,

176
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,039
dismiss them to see duly fed their father's herds and

177
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,559
flocks in sicily, these herds and flocks, if to the deity,

178
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,799
ye leave as sacred things untouched, and on go with

179
00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:51,399
all fit care of your home alone, though through some

180
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:56,080
sufferance you yet safe shall land in wished Ithaca. But

181
00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:59,679
if impious hand you lay on those herds to their hurts,

182
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,919
I then presage sure ruin to thy ship and men.

183
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,440
If thou escapest thyself extending home thy longed fore landing,

184
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,399
thou shalt loaded come with store of losses more exceeding late,

185
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,240
and not consorted with a saved mate. This said the

186
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,919
golden throned Aurora. Rose, she her way went, and I

187
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:26,919
did mine dispose up to my ship weighed anchor and away.

188
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,320
When Reverend Circe helped us to convey our vessel safe

189
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:35,360
by making well inclined. A seaman's true companion a fore

190
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,960
wind with which she filled our sails, when fitting all

191
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,080
our arms close by us, I did sadly fall to

192
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,399
grave relation what concerned in fate my friends to know?

193
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,679
And told him that the state of our affair success,

194
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,799
which Circe had presage to me alone, must yet be

195
00:12:53,919 --> 00:12:57,120
made to one, nor only two known, but to all,

196
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,519
that since their lives and deaths were left to fall

197
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:04,120
in their elections, they might life elect and give what

198
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:08,360
would preserve it fit effect. I first informed them that

199
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:11,799
we were to fly the heavenly singing sirens harmony and

200
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,399
flower adorned meadows, and that I had charged to hear

201
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,480
their song, but fettered fast in bands unfavored to the

202
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:23,519
erected mast. From whence, if I should pray or use

203
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,080
command to be enlarged, they should, with much more band

204
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,360
contain my strugglings. This I simply told to each particular,

205
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,440
Nor would withhold what most enjoin'd mine own affections, stay,

206
00:13:36,039 --> 00:13:39,559
that theirs the rather might be taught to obey. In

207
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,480
mean time, flew our ships, and straight we fetched the

208
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:46,480
siren's isle. A spleenless wind so stretched her wings to

209
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,159
waft us, and so urged our keel. But having reached

210
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:53,519
this isle, we could not feel the least grasp of it.

211
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:56,720
It was stricken dead, and all the sea in prostrate

212
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,559
slumber spread the sirens devil charmed all up. Then flew

213
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:05,720
my friends to work, struck sail together, drew and under hatches,

214
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:09,679
stowed them, sat and plied the polish'd oars, and did

215
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,639
in curls divide the white head waters. My part then

216
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:17,759
came on a mighty waxen cake. I set upon, chopped

217
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:20,600
it in fragments with my sword, and wrought with strong

218
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,720
hand every piece till all were soft. The great power

219
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:27,440
of the sun in such a beam as then flew

220
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:32,080
burning from his diadem, till liquefaction helped us orderly. I

221
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,600
stopp'd their ears, and they as fair did ply My

222
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:38,519
feet and hands with cords, and to the mast with

223
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:42,840
other hausers made me soundly fast. Then took they seat,

224
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:47,360
and forth our passage struck the foamy sea beneath their labor, shook,

225
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,639
rode on in reach of an erected voice. The sirens

226
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,759
soon took note without our noise, to those sweet accents

227
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,759
that made charm so strong. And these learned numbers made

228
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:03,200
the soun Iron's song come here thou worthy of a

229
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:06,960
world of praise, that dust so high the Grecian glory

230
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,960
rays ulysses stay thy ship, and that song here that

231
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:15,519
none passed ever, but it bent his ear, but left

232
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:19,320
him ravished and instructed more by us than any ever

233
00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:23,440
heard before. For we know all things whatsoever were in

234
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,320
wide Troy labor'd, whatsoever there the Grecians and the Trojans,

235
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,159
both sustained by those high issues that the gods ordain'd,

236
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,320
And whatsoever all the earth can show to inform a

237
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:40,879
knowledge of dessert. We know this. They gave accent in

238
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,600
the sweetest strain that ever opened an enamored vein, when

239
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:49,159
my constrained heart needs would have mine ear yet more

240
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,559
delighted forced way forth than here, to which end I

241
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:57,039
commanded with all signs stern looks could make. For not

242
00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:00,320
a joint of mine had power to stir my friends

243
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:04,000
to rise and give my limbs free way. They freely

244
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:07,759
strive to drive their ship still on, when far from

245
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:11,320
will to loose, Urylicus and Pyrimides rose to wrap me

246
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,919
surer and oppressed me more with many a hawser than

247
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
had use before. When rowing on without the reach of sound,

248
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,840
my friends unstopped their ears and me unbound, and that

249
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,080
ile quite we quitted, But again fresh fears employed us.

250
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:31,120
I beheld a mane of mighty billows, and a smoke ascend,

251
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,960
a horrid murmur, hearing every friend astonished, sat from every hand.

252
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,919
His oar fell quite forsaken with the dismal roar. Were

253
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,679
all things there made echoes stone still stood our ship itself,

254
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:49,639
because the ghastly flood took all men's motions from her

255
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,519
in their own. I through the ship went laboring up

256
00:16:53,559 --> 00:16:57,320
and down my friend's recover'd spirits. One by one. I

257
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,279
gave good words, and said that well were known these

258
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,720
ills to them before I told them all, and that

259
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:07,319
these could not prove more capital than those the cyclops

260
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,039
blocked us up. In Yet my virtue wit and heavenly

261
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:15,039
helped counsel set their freedoms open. I could not believe,

262
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,160
but they remember'd it, and wished them give my equal

263
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,799
care and means now equal trust. The strength they had

264
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,279
for stirring up they must rouse and extend to try.

265
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,960
If Jove had laid his powers in theirs up and

266
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,079
would add his aid to escape even that death in particular.

267
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,200
Then I told our pilot that past other men, he

268
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,359
most must bear firm spirits, since he sway'd the continent

269
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:42,720
that all our spirits conveyed in his whole guide of her.

270
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,000
He saw there boil the fiery whirlpools that to all

271
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:50,759
our spoil enclos'd a rock without which he must steer

272
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,039
or all our ruins stood. Concluded there all heard me

273
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,480
and obeyed, and little knew that shunning that rock, six

274
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:02,599
of them sh should rue the rack another head, for

275
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,000
I conceal'd the heavy wounds that would never be heal'd

276
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,640
to be by Sellah opened for their fear would then

277
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:12,960
have robbed all of all care to steer or stir

278
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:16,319
an oar, and made them hide beneath when they and

279
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,839
all had died in idle death. But then even I

280
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,559
forgot to shun the harm. Cercy forewarned, who willed I

281
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:27,000
should not arm nor show myself to Sellah. Lest in

282
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,960
vain I ventur'd life, yet could not I contain, but

283
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,839
armed at all parts, and two lances took up to

284
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,160
the fore deck went And thence did look that rocky

285
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:40,200
Sellah would have first appeared and taken my life with

286
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:43,759
the friends I feared from thence yet no place could

287
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:47,400
afford her sight. Though through the dark rock mine eye

288
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,359
through her light and ransacked always. I then took a

289
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,160
strait that gave myself and some few more receipt TwixT

290
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,599
Sella and Charibdis. Whence we saw how horridly Cribda's throat

291
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,160
did the brackish sea up, which when all aboard, she

292
00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:07,039
spit out again. Never Caldron sawed with so much fervor,

293
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:10,799
fed with all the store that could enrage it. All

294
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,160
the rock did roar with troubled waters. Round about the

295
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,359
tops of all the steep crags flew the foamy drops.

296
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,279
But when her draft the sea and earth dissundered, the

297
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,400
troubled bottoms turn'd up, and she thundered far under shore

298
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:29,640
the swartz sands naked lay whose whole stern sight the

299
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,720
startled blood did fray from all our faces. And while

300
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:37,240
we on her our eyes bestowed thus to our ruin's fear.

301
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:41,079
Six friends had cellas snatched out of our keel, in

302
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,319
whom most lost did force and virtue feel When looking

303
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,720
to my ship and lending eye to see my friend's estates,

304
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,480
their heels turned high and hands cast up. I might

305
00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:55,880
discern and hear their calls to me for help, when

306
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,880
now they were to try me in their last extremities,

307
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,319
and as an angler medicine for surprise of little fish

308
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,400
sits pouring from the rocks from out the crooked horn

309
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,920
of a fold bred ox, and then with his long angle,

310
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,680
hoists them high up to the air, then slightly hurls

311
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:17,039
them by, when helpless, sprawling on the land they lie

312
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,319
so easily. Scylla, to her rock had wrapped my woeful friends,

313
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:25,319
and so unhelped and trapped, struggling they lay beneath her

314
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,000
violent rape, who, in their tortures, desperate of escape, shriek

315
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,039
as she tore, and up their hands to me still

316
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,440
through for sweet life, I did never see, in all

317
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:41,559
my sufferance, ransacking the seas a spectacle so full of miseries. Thus,

318
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:46,960
having fled these rocks, these cruel dames, Scylla Charybdis, where

319
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,279
the king of Flames hath offerings burned to him, our

320
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,079
ship put in the island that from all the earth

321
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,200
doth wind the epithet faultless, where the broad of head,

322
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,839
the famous oxen for the sun are fed with many

323
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,359
fat flocks of that high gone God set in my

324
00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:07,680
ship mine ear reach'd where we rode the bellowing of

325
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,119
Oxen and the bleat of fleecy sheep, that in my

326
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:14,279
memory seat put up the forms that late had been

327
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:17,720
impress'd by dread ee E and circi and the best

328
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:22,200
of souls and prophets, the blind, theban seir, the wise Tyresius,

329
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:26,039
who was grave decreer of my return's whole means, of

330
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,440
which this one in chief he urg'd that I should

331
00:21:29,599 --> 00:21:33,599
always shun the island of the man delighting sun. When

332
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,519
sat at heart for our late loss, I prayed my

333
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,799
friends to hear fit counsel, though dismay'd with all ill fortunes,

334
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,240
which was given to me by Circees, and Tyresius's prophecy,

335
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:48,559
that I should fly the isle where was adored the

336
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,279
comfort of the world, for ils abhorde were ambush'd for

337
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:55,960
us there, and therefore willed they should put off and

338
00:21:56,079 --> 00:22:00,799
leave the isle. This kill'd their tender spirits, and Eurylicus

339
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,039
a speech that vexed me uttered answering thus cruel ulysses.

340
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,759
Since thy nerves abound in strength, the more spent, and

341
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,839
no toils confound thy able limbs as all beat out

342
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,680
of steel, Thou ablest us too, as unapt to feel

343
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,519
the teeth of labor and the spoil of sleep, and

344
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,400
therefore still wet waste us in the deep, Nor let

345
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,440
us land to eat. But madly now in Knight put

346
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,920
forth and leave firm land to strew the sea with errors,

347
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,559
all the rabid flight of winds, that ruined ships are

348
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:36,319
bred in night. Who is it that can keep off

349
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,440
cruel death if suddenly should rush out the angry breath

350
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,960
of notice, or the eager spirited west that cuff ships dead?

351
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,680
And do the gods their best serve black Knight still

352
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:51,160
with shore, meet sleep and ease, and offer to the

353
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,480
morning for the seas. This all the rest approved, and

354
00:22:55,519 --> 00:22:58,519
then knew I passed all doubt the devil did apply

355
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,960
his slaughterous works, nor would they be withheld. I was

356
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,480
but one, nor yielded, but compell'd, but all that might

357
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,720
contain them, I essayed a sacred oath on all their powers.

358
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,160
I laid that if with herds or any richest flocks

359
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,960
we chanced to encounter neither sheep nor ox, we once

360
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,160
should touch, nor for that constant ill that follows folly scorn,

361
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,279
ad vice, and kill, but quiet sit us down, and

362
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,559
take such food as the immortal Circe had bestow'd. They

363
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:34,920
swore all this in all severest sort. And then we

364
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,279
anchored in the winding port, near a fresh river where

365
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:41,720
the long foreshore. They all flew out to took in

366
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:45,119
Vidtel's store, and, being full thought of their friends, and

367
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,759
wept their loss by scyllah, weeping till they slept. In

368
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,680
night's third part, when stars began to stoop, the cloud

369
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,720
assembler put a tempestop a boisterous spirit. He gave it,

370
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,160
drave out all his flocks of clouds, and let such

371
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,200
darkness fall that earth and seas, for fear to hide,

372
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,839
were driven. For with his clouds he thrust out night

373
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,279
from heaven. At morn we drew our ships into a

374
00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:16,240
cave in which the nymphs that Phoebus cattle, grave, fair

375
00:24:16,319 --> 00:24:20,240
dancing rooms had, and their seats of state. I urged

376
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:23,680
my friends then, that to shun their fate, they would

377
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,839
observe their oath and take the food our ship afforded.

378
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,279
Nor attempt the blood of those fair herds and flocks,

379
00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,920
because they were the dreadful gods that all could see

380
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,680
and hear. They stood observant, and in that good mine

381
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:41,000
had we been gone, but so adverse the wind stood

382
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:44,480
to our passage, that we could not go for one

383
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:49,720
whole month. Perpetually did blow, impetuous notice, not a breath's repair.

384
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,839
But his inuuses ruled in all the air, as long

385
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,039
yet as their ruddy wine and bread stood out amongst them,

386
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:00,319
so long, not ahead of all those oxen fell in

387
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,839
any strife amongst those students for the gut and life.

388
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,279
But when their victuals failed, they fell to pray. Necessity

389
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,440
compelled them then to stray in rape of fish and fowl,

390
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,079
whatever came in reach of hand or hook, the belly's

391
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:18,960
flame afflicted to it. I then fell to prayer, and

392
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,400
making too a close retreat repair free from both friends

393
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,079
and winds, I washed my hands, and all the gods

394
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,759
besought that held commands in liberal heaven to yield some

395
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,000
mean to stay their desperate hunger and set up the

396
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,240
way of our return. Restrained the gods, instead of giving

397
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,680
what I prayed for power of deed, A deedless sleep

398
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:45,359
did on my lids, distill for mean to work upon

399
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,480
my friends there fill for whiles I slept there, waked

400
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:52,839
no mean to curb their headstrong wants, which he that

401
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,079
did disturb my rule in chief at all times, and

402
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,720
was chief to all the rest in counsel to their

403
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:03,839
grief knew, and of my present absence, took his fit advantage,

404
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,119
and their iron struck at highest heat. For feeling their

405
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,119
desire in his own entrails to allay the fire that

406
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,440
famine blew in them. He thus gave way to that affection.

407
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:18,799
Hear what I say, though words will stanch no hunger.

408
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,880
Every death to us, poor wretches that draw temporal breath,

409
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,480
you know, is hateful, but all know to die. The

410
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:29,680
death of famine is a misery past all death loathsome.

411
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:33,279
Let us therefore take the chief of this fair herd,

412
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,680
and offerings make to all the deathless that in broad

413
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:40,480
heaven live, and in particular vow if we arrive in

414
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,200
natural Ithaca to straight erect a temple to the haughty

415
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:48,640
in aspect, rich and magnificent, and all within decat with

416
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:52,839
relics many and divine. If yet he stands incensed since

417
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,119
we have slain his high browed herd, and therefore will

418
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,039
sustain desire to rack our ship, he is but one

419
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,640
and all the other gods that we atone with our

420
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,119
divine rights, will their suffrage give to our design'd return

421
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:10,200
and let us live? If not, and all take part.

422
00:27:10,519 --> 00:27:13,720
I rather crave to serve with one sole death the

423
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:17,480
yawning wave, than in a desert isle, lie and stirve,

424
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,039
and with one pined life many deaths observe. All cried

425
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:26,119
he counsels nobly, and all speed made to the resolute,

426
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,559
driving for the feed of those coal black, fair, broad browed,

427
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,759
sun loved beaves had placed close by our ships. They

428
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:38,400
took the leaves of sense most eminent about their fall,

429
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,319
stood round and to the states celestial made solemn bows,

430
00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:46,079
but other rites their ship could not afford them. They

431
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,440
did therefore strip the curl'd head oak of fresh young

432
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:52,839
leaves to make supply of service for their barley cake.

433
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,200
And on the sacredly inflamed for wine poured purest water

434
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,960
all the parts divine, spitting and roasting all the rights

435
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:05,119
beside orderly using then did light divide my low and

436
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,599
upper lids. When my repair made near my ship, I

437
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,680
met the delicate heir, their roast exhal'd out Instantly, I

438
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:16,400
cried and said O Jove and all ye deified. Ye

439
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,000
have oppressed me with a cruel sleep, while ye conferred

440
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,279
on me a loss as deep as death descends to

441
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:26,960
to themselves alone, my rude men left ungovern'd, they have

442
00:28:27,079 --> 00:28:30,599
done a deed so impious. I stand well assured that

443
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,160
ye will not forgive, though ye procur'd. Then flew Lampettia

444
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,960
with the ample robe up to her father with the

445
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,279
golden globe ambassadress, to inform him that my men had

446
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:47,720
slain his oxen hearten sense it. Then he cried, revenge me, father,

447
00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:52,559
and the rest, both ever living and for ever blest ulysses,

448
00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:55,599
impious men have drawn the blood of those my oxen.

449
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,519
That it did me good to look on walking all

450
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,200
my starry round, And when I trod earth all with

451
00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:06,200
meadows crown'd without your full amends, I leave heaven quite

452
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:10,039
dis and all the dead adorning with my light. The

453
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:14,839
cloud herd answered Sun, thou shalt be ours and light

454
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,480
those mortals in that mine of flowers. My red hot

455
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:22,039
flash shall graze but on their ship and eat it

456
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,400
burning in the boiling deep. This by Calypso I was told,

457
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,359
and she inform'd it from the verdure mercury come to

458
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,400
our ship, I chid and told by name each man

459
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,680
how impiously he was to blame. But chiding got no peace,

460
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,720
and beaves were slain. When straight the gods forewent their

461
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:45,799
following pain with dire ostense. The hides the flesh had

462
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,640
lost crept all before them. As the flesh did roast,

463
00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:54,240
it bellow'd like the oppositself alive. And yet my soldiers

464
00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:57,319
did their dead beaves drive through all these prodigies and

465
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,839
daily feasts. Six days they anquieted and slew fresh beasts.

466
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,400
And when the seventh day, Jove reduced the wind that

467
00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:09,000
all the month raged, and so in did bind our ship,

468
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,119
and us was turned and calmed, and we launched, put

469
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,759
up masts, sails hoised, and to sea the island left

470
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:20,839
so far that land nowhere, but only sea and sky

471
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:24,960
had power to appear. Jove fixed a cloud above our ship,

472
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,279
so black that all the sea had darkened. Yet from

473
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,519
rack she ran a good free time till from the

474
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:35,480
west came Zephyr, ruffling forth and put his breast out

475
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:39,279
in a singing tempest, so most vast it burst the

476
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:43,759
gables that made sure our mast. Our masts came tumbling down,

477
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:47,119
our cattle down, rushed to the pump, and by our

478
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,920
pilot's crown the main mast passed his fall, patched all

479
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,000
his skull and all this rack, but one flaw made

480
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,319
it full off from the stern. The sterensman diving, fell

481
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,200
from his sinews, flew his soul to hell. Together all

482
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,200
this time Jove's thundered chid and through and through the ship,

483
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:11,279
his lightning glid till it embraced her round. Her bulk

484
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,720
was filled with nasty sulfur, and her men were killed,

485
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,079
tumbled to sea like sea mews swum about, and there

486
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,519
the date of their return was out. I tossed from

487
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,720
side to side still till all broke. Her ribs were

488
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:29,319
with the storm, and she did choke with let in surges.

489
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:33,279
For the mass torn down, tore her up piecemeal, and

490
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:36,920
for me to drown, left little undissolved. But to the

491
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,440
mast there was a leather thong left, which I cast

492
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,559
about it and the keel, and so sat tossed with

493
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,400
baneful weather till the west had lost his stormy tyranny,

494
00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:51,839
and then arose the south that bred me more abhorred woes.

495
00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:56,519
For back again his blasts expelled me quite on ravenous Charybdis.

496
00:31:57,119 --> 00:32:00,400
All that night I tottered up and down till light

497
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,119
and eye at Cellah's rock encountered and the nigh dreadful Charybdis.

498
00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:09,319
As I drave on these, I saw Charybdis supping up

499
00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:12,759
the seas, and had gone up together. If the tree

500
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:16,039
that bore the wild figs had not rescued me, to

501
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:19,880
which I leaped and left my keel, and high chambering

502
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,319
upon it, did as closely imply my breast about it

503
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,720
as a re ram mouse could, yet might my feet

504
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,720
on no stub fasten hold to ease my hands. The

505
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:34,000
roots were crept so low beneath the earth, and so

506
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,519
aloft did grow the far spread arms, that, though good

507
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:40,559
height I gat, I could not reach them to the

508
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,359
main bow flat. I therefore still must cling till up

509
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,920
again she belched my mast, and after that a mane

510
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,319
my keel came tumbling so at length it chanced to

511
00:32:51,359 --> 00:32:54,759
me as to a judge that long advanced to judge

512
00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:58,480
a sort of hot young fellow's jars at length time

513
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:02,279
freeze him from their civil wars. When glad he riseth

514
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,119
and to dinner goes So time at length released with

515
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:10,400
joy's my woes, And from Charybdus's mouth appeared my keel,

516
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:13,440
to which my hand now loosed, and now may heel

517
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,480
I altogether, with a huge noise, dropped just in her

518
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:21,960
midst fell where the mast was propped, and there rode

519
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,720
off with oars of my hands. God and Man's father

520
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,039
would not from her sands let Scylla see me, for

521
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,319
I then had died that bitter death that my poor

522
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,079
friends supplied. Nine days at sea, I hovered the tenth

523
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,519
night in the Ilogigia, where about the bright and right

524
00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:44,680
renowned Calypso I was cast by power of deity, where

525
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,559
I lived, embraced with love and feasts. But why should

526
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:52,359
I relate those kind occurrens, I should iterate what I

527
00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:55,559
impart to your chaste queen, and you so late imparted,

528
00:33:56,359 --> 00:33:59,119
and for me to grow a talker over of my

529
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:04,799
tail again were passed my free contentment to sustain. End

530
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:05,680
of the twelfth book
