00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,320
of Homer, translated by George Chapman. The argument Minerva to

00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,760
his native seat, exhorts Ulysses sons retreat in bed and waking.

7
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:33,000
He receives gifts of atrites and so leaves the Spartan

8
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:38,079
court and going aboard Doth favorable way afford to Theoclemenus

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,960
that was the argive auger, and sought pass fled for

10
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:46,479
a slaughter he had done. Eumias tells Laertes's son how

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,799
he became his father's man, being sold by the Phoenician

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,479
for some agreed on faculties. From forth the Syrian isle

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,840
made prize. Telemachus arrived at home Doth to Eumius's cottage

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:05,840
come another argument, Omicron from Sparta's strand makes safe access

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,959
to his own land. Eulysides in lacedaemon large and apt

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,159
for dances Athenian Palace. Her access advances up to the

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,680
great in soul Ulysses Seed, suggesting his return now fit

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,319
for deed, She found both him and Nestor's noble son

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,480
in bed in front of that fair mansion. Nestereride's surprised

20
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,000
with pleasing sleep, but on the watch ulysses Son did

21
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:34,840
keep sleep, could not enter Cares did so excite his

22
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,280
soul through all the solitary night for his loved father.

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,319
To him near, she said, Telemachus, tis time that now

24
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:47,159
were stay'd thy foreign travels, since thy goods are free

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,200
for those proud men, that all will eat from THEE,

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,959
divide thy whole possessions, and leave thy too late presence

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,239
nothing to receive in sight. The shrill voiced Menelaus, then

28
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:01,599
to send THEE to thy native seed again, while thou

29
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,879
may'st yet find in her honor, strong thy blameless mother,

30
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,560
gainst thy father's wrong, for both the father and the

31
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:11,840
brothers too. Of thy loved mother will not suffer so

32
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,080
extended any more her widow's bed, but make her now

33
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:19,560
her richest wooer wed Eurymicus, who chief THEE, may augment

34
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,400
her gifts and make her jointure eminent. And therefore haste

35
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,560
THEE lest in thy despite thy house stand empty of

36
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:30,039
thy native right. For well thou knowest what mine the

37
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:34,120
woman bears the house of him whoever she endears herself

38
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,039
in nuptials to she sees increased the issue of her

39
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,960
first loved lord, deceased, forgotten quite and never thought on more.

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,439
In thy return, Then the recounted store thou findest reserved

41
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,159
to thy most trusted maid, commit in guard till Heaven's

42
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,639
powers have pervayed a wife in virtue and in Beauty's grace.

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,400
Of fit sort for THEE to supply her place. And

44
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,039
this note mora, I'll give thee which repose in sure remembrance,

45
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,240
the best sort of those that woo thy mother, watchful

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,759
scouts addressed both in the straits of the Ithachensian seas

47
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,759
and dusty samos, with intent to invade and take thy life.

48
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,439
Ere thy return be made, which yet I think will fail.

49
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,439
And some of them that waste thy fortunes taste of

50
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,759
that extreme. They plot for THEE, but keep off far

51
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,759
from shore, and day and night sail for a fore

52
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:28,919
right blore. Whoever of the immortals that thou guard escape

53
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,240
to thy return, will see prepared as soon as thou arrivest,

54
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,680
dismiss to town thy ship and men, and first of

55
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,759
all make down to him that keeps thy swine, and

56
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,840
doth conceive a tender care to see thee well survive

57
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,439
their sleep, and send him to the town to tell

58
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,280
the chaste Penelope that safe and well thou livedst in

59
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,680
his charge, and that Pylas's sands the place contained from

60
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:58,639
whence thy person lands. Thus she to large. Olympus made assent,

61
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,599
when with his heel a little touch he lent to

62
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,840
Nestor's son, whose sleeps sweet chains he loosed bad rise

63
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:09,000
and see in chariot enclose their one hoofed horse, that

64
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,800
they might straight be gone. No such haste, he replied,

65
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960
knight holds are thrown and dims all way to course

66
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,600
of chariot. The morn will soon get up. Nor see

67
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:22,480
forgot the gifts with haste that will I know be

68
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,920
rich and put into our coach with gracious speech by

69
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,040
lance famed Menelaus, not a guest shall touch at his house,

70
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,600
but shall store his breast with fit mind of inhospitable man,

71
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,759
to last as long as any daylight can his eyes

72
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,199
recomfort in such gifts as he will proofs mate of

73
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,279
his hearty royalty. He had no sooner said but upper

74
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,800
rose Aurora, that the golden hills repose, And Menelaus Good

75
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,560
at Marshal cries from Helen's bed, raised to his guest

76
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:57,879
supplies his first appearance, whose repair made known till Ulysses

77
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,839
loved son on his robe, thrown about his gracious body,

78
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,839
his cloak cast athwart his ample shoulders, and in haste

79
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,639
abroad he went and did the king accost atrytees, guarded

80
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,959
with Heaven's deified host, grant now remission to my native right,

81
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:19,639
my mind now urging mine own house's sight. Nor will

82
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,519
I stay, said he thy person. Long since thy desires

83
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,800
to go are grown so strong, I should myself be

84
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:30,519
angry to sustain the like attention urged by other men.

85
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,199
Who loves a guest past mean, past mean, will hate

86
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,279
the mean in all acts bears the best estate alike.

87
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,160
Ill tis to thrust out such a guest as would

88
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,439
not go as to detain the rest. We should a

89
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:48,480
guest love while he loves to stay, and when he likes,

90
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,240
not give him loving way, yet suffer, so that we

91
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,399
may gifts impose in coach to thee which ere our

92
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,240
hands enclose, thine eyes shall see, lest else our loves

93
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,040
may close. Besides, I'll cause our women to prepare what

94
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,399
our house yields, and merely so much fair as may

95
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:10,240
suffice for health both well will do both for our

96
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,879
honor and our profit too, And serving strength with food

97
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:17,279
you after may as much earth measure as will match

98
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:20,399
the clay. If you will turn your course from sea

99
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,759
and go through Greece and argos, that myself may so

100
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,240
keep kind way with thee, I'll join horse and guide

101
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,680
to our human cities. Nor ungratified, will any one remit us.

102
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,920
Some one thing will each present us that along may

103
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:38,279
bring our pass with love and prove our virtues. Blazed

104
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,600
a cauldron or a triprod richly braized, two mules, a

105
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,759
bowl of gold that hath his price heightened with emblems

106
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,240
of some rare device. The wise prince answered, I would

107
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,480
gladly go home to mine own, and see that governs,

108
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,000
so that I may keep what I for certain hold,

109
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,000
not hazard that for only hoped for gold I left

110
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,439
behind me, none so always fit to give it guard

111
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:07,439
as mine own trust with it. Besides, in this broad

112
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:11,680
course which you propose, my father seeking I myself may lose.

113
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,800
When this the shrill voiced Menelaeus heard, he charged his

114
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,399
queen and maids to see prepared breakfast of what the

115
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:24,680
whole house held for best to him. Rose Ettionius, from

116
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,720
his rest, whose dwelling was not far off from the court,

117
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,759
and his attendants. His command did sort, with kindling fires

118
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,839
and further ring all the roast, in act of whose

119
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,879
charge no time he lost himself. Then to an odorous

120
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:43,560
room descended whom megapenthe and his queen attended. Come to

121
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,720
his treasury a two eared cup, he choosed of all,

122
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:50,560
and made his son bear up a silver bowl. The queen, then,

123
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:54,160
taking stand aside her chest, whereby her own fair hand

124
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:57,519
lay vests of all hughes wrought, she took out one

125
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,839
most large, most artful, chiefly fair and shone like to

126
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,240
a star, and lay of all the last. Then through

127
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:08,680
the house, with either's gifts they passed. When to Ulysses

128
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,120
son atride, said Telemachus, since so entirely swayed thy thoughts

129
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,120
are with thy vowed return now tendered, made Juno's thundering

130
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:22,079
husband see it rendered perfect at all parts action, answering

131
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,920
thought of all the rich gifts in my treasure sought,

132
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,920
I give thee here the most in grace and best,

133
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,919
a bold but silver, yet the brims compressed with gold,

134
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,679
whose fabric his dessert doth bring from Vulcan's hand, presented

135
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:41,480
by the King and great hero of Sidonia's state. When

136
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:45,399
at our parting he did consummate his whole housekeeping, this

137
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,440
do thou command, This said, He put the round bowl

138
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:53,240
in his hand, and then his strong son, megapenthe placed

139
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,799
the silver cut before him, amply graced with work and luster.

140
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Helen standing by, and in her hand the robe, her

141
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,200
housewifery his name, remembering, said, and I present, love son,

142
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,799
this gift to thee, the monument of so many loved

143
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,720
Helen's hands, which, at the knitting of thy nuptial bands,

144
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:17,399
present thy wife in mean space. May it lie by

145
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:20,440
thy loved mother, but to me apply thy pleasure in it,

146
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440
and thus take thy way to thy fair house and

147
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,440
country's wished stay. Thus gave she to his hands the veil,

148
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:32,240
and he the acceptation authored joyfully, which in the chariot's

149
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,240
chest by Cistrtus, placed with the rest, and held miraculous.

150
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:39,720
The yellow headed king then led them all to seats

151
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,639
and thrones placed in his spacious hall. The handmade water

152
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,399
brought and gave its stream from out a fair and

153
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,039
golden ewer to them, from whose hands to a silver

154
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,720
cauldron fled the troubled wave a bright board, then she spread,

155
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:58,799
on which another reverend dame set bread, to which more

156
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,519
servants store of vis served at own use. Was the

157
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,240
man that curved and Megapenthe filled them all their wine,

158
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,799
all fed and drank, till all felt care decline. For

159
00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:13,840
those refreshings. Both the guests did go to horse and coach,

160
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:17,360
and forth the portico a little issued when the Yellow

161
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,840
King brought wine himself, that with an offering to all

162
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,360
the gods, they might their journey take. He stood before

163
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:28,840
the gods, and thus he spake, farewell, young princes, to

164
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Grave Nestor's ear. This salutation from my gratitude bear that

165
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:36,799
I profess in all our Ilian wars. He stood a

166
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:41,799
careful father to my cares, to whom the wise Ulyssides replied,

167
00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:46,639
with all our utmost shall be signified. Jove kept atrides

168
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,279
your right royal will, and would to God, I could

169
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,840
as well fulfill mine own mind's gratitude for your free

170
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:57,519
grace in telling to Ulysses in the place of my return,

171
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,159
in what accomplished kind, I have obtained the office of

172
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,080
a friend at your deservings, whose fair end you crowned

173
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,039
with gifts so many, and of such renown. His wish

174
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,960
that he might find in his retreat his father safe

175
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,919
returned to so repeat the King's love to him was saluted.

176
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,279
Thus an eagle rose and in her seers did trust

177
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,320
a goose, all white and huge, a household, one which

178
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,679
men and women, crying out upon, pursued. But she, being

179
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:30,720
near the guests, her flight made on their right hand,

180
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,000
and kept still for right before their horses, which observed

181
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,480
by them. The spirits, in all their minds took Joy's extreme,

182
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,879
which Nestor's son thus questioned, Jove kept, King, yield your

183
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:47,559
grave thoughts if this ostentful thing, this eagle, and this

184
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,919
goose touch us or you? He put to study, and,

185
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:55,080
not knowing how to give fit answer, Helen took on

186
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,399
her the ostensed solution, and did this prefer hear me

187
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,200
play the prophet's part as the immortals cast it in

188
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,960
my heart, and as I think will make the true

189
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,120
sense known as this Jove's bird from out the mountains

190
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:14,559
flown where was her irie, and whence rose her race,

191
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,679
trust up this goose that from the house did grays.

192
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,759
So shall Ulysses, coming from the wild of seas and sufferings,

193
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,360
reach unreconciled his native home, where even this hour he is,

194
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,559
And on those house fed wooers, those wrongs of his

195
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:35,559
will shortly reek with all their miseries. Oh, said Telemachus,

196
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,559
if Saturnian jove to my desires, thy dear presage, approve

197
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,960
when I arrive, I will perform to thee my daily

198
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,960
vows as to a deity. This said, he used his

199
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:50,039
scourge upon the horse, that through the city freely made

200
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,200
their course to field, and all day made that first

201
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,080
speed good. But when the sunset and obscureness stood in

202
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,559
each man's way, they ended their access at fairs in

203
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,159
the house of Diocles son tour Silicus, Alpheus's seed, who

204
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,559
gave them guest rites and sleep's natural need, if they

205
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:13,039
that night served there. When Aurora arose, they joined their horse,

206
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,600
took coach, and did dispose their course for Pylos, whose

207
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,360
high city soon they reached. Nor would Telemachus be one

208
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,600
to Nestor's house and therefore ordered thus his speech to

209
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,200
Nestor's son by Sistretus, how shall I win thy promise

210
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,840
to a grace that I must ask of thee. We

211
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:34,320
both embrace the names of bedfellows, and in that name

212
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:38,159
will glory as an adjunct of our fame, our father's friendship,

213
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,519
our own equal age, and our joint travel. May the

214
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,639
more engage our mutual concord. Do not, then, assay my

215
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:48,480
god loved friend to lead me from my way to

216
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,799
my near ship, but take a course direct and leave

217
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,919
me there, lest the old Sire's respect, in his desire

218
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,759
to love me, hinders my way for home, that have

219
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:02,519
such need to go. This said Nestererides, held all discourse

220
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,600
in his kind soul. How best he might enforce both

221
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,559
promise and performance, which at last he vowed to venture,

222
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:12,559
and directly cast his horse about to fetch the ship

223
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,879
and shore where come his friend's most lovely gifts. He

224
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,320
bore aboard the ship, and in her hind deck placed

225
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,480
the veil that Helen's curious hand had graced, and Menelaeus's gold,

226
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:28,320
and said, away, nor let thy men, in any least

227
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,519
date stay, but quite put off ere I get home

228
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,000
and tell the old duke you are past for passing well,

229
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,000
I know his mind to exceed all force of any prayer,

230
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,879
that he will stay your course himself, may hither all

231
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,039
your course, call back, and when he hath you have

232
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,639
no thought to rack him from his bounty, and to

233
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,519
let you part without a present, But be vexed at

234
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:53,559
heart with both our pleadings, if we once put move

235
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:57,759
the least repression of his fiery love thus took he coach,

236
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,960
his fair mained steed scourged dawn along the Pilian city

237
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,360
and Anon, his father's court reached, while Ulysses son bade

238
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:10,039
board an arm, which with a thought was done. His

239
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,679
rowers set, and he rich Odors, firing in his hinddeck

240
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:17,519
for his secure retiring to great Athenia. To his ship

241
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,679
came flying a stranger and a prophet, as relying on

242
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:24,639
wished passage, having newly slain a man at Argos. Yet

243
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:28,320
his race's vain flowed from Melampus, who in former date

244
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,039
in Pylos lived and had a huge estate, but fled

245
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,639
his country, and the punishing hand of great souled Nelius

246
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,360
in a foreign land, from that most famous mortal, having

247
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,440
held a world of riches, nor could be compelled to

248
00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:46,639
render restitution in a year in mean space, living as

249
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:49,720
close prisoner in the court of Philicus, and for the

250
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:53,559
sake of Nelius's daughter, mighty Cares did take together with

251
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:57,320
a grievous langor sent from grave Ernus, that did much

252
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,080
torment his vexed conscience. Yet his his life's expense, he

253
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,720
escaped and drave the loud voiced Oxen, thence to breed

254
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:08,440
sheep Pylos, bringing vengeance. Thus his foul demerit to great

255
00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:12,679
Nelius and to his brother's house reduced his wife, who

256
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:16,799
yet from Pylos, did remove his life for feed horse Argos,

257
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,080
where his fate set down a dwelling for him, and

258
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,960
in much renown made govern many Argives, where a spouse

259
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,480
he took to him and built a famous house. There

260
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,759
he had borne to him Antifats and forceful Mantius. To

261
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,840
the first of these was great O'eglius born Oeglius gat Atharaeus,

262
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:40,080
that the popular state had all their health in whom

263
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,240
even from his heart Jove loved, and Phoebus, in the

264
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,799
whole dessert of friendship, held him, yet not blessed so

265
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:50,360
much that Ages threshold he did ever touch, but lost

266
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:54,960
his life by female bribery. Yet two sons authored his posterity,

267
00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,799
Alcmeon and renowned Amphilicus. Mantius had issue of Polyphidius and Clitus,

268
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,880
but Aurora ravished him for excellence of his admired limb

269
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,960
and interested him amongst the gods. His brother knew men's

270
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,960
good and bad abodes the best of all men. After

271
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:15,160
the decease of him that perished in unnatural peace at

272
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,720
spacious Thebes, Apollo did inspire his knowing soul with a

273
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:23,880
prophetic fire, who, angry with his father, took his way

274
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,720
to Hypereesia, where, making stay, he prophesied to all men,

275
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:32,480
and had there a son called Theoclemenus, who here came

276
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:36,319
to Telemachus and found aboard himself at sacrifice, whom, in

277
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,559
a word he thus saluted, O friend, since I find

278
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:44,640
even here at ship a sacrificing mind. Inform your actions

279
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,519
by your sacrifice and by the worthy choice of deities

280
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:51,920
to whom you offer by yourself, and all these men

281
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,839
that serve your coarse meritimol tell one that asks the

282
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,160
truth nor give it glows both who and whence you

283
00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:02,160
are from what seed rose your royal person, and what

284
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:08,279
city's towers hold habitation to your parents powers, He answered stranger,

285
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,960
The sure truth is this. I am of Ithaca. My

286
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,000
father is or was Ulysses. But austere death now takes

287
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,039
his state from him, whose event to know himself being

288
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,559
long away, I set forth thus with ship and soldiers dioclemenus,

289
00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:28,640
as freely said, And I to thee am fled from

290
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,720
forth my country for a man struck dead by my

291
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,720
unhappy hand, who was with me. Of one self tribe

292
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,359
and of his pedigree are many friends and brothers, and

293
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,920
the sway of the archived kindred reacheth far away from whom,

294
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,480
because I fear their spleens, suborn blood, and black fate

295
00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:51,240
against me, being born to be a wanderer among foreign men.

296
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Make thy fair ship my rescue, and sustain my life

297
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,359
from slaughter. Thy deservings may perform that mercy. And to

298
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,279
them I prayers, Nor will I bar said he thy

299
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,480
will to make my means an equal ship, Thy aid,

300
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,599
But take with what we have here in all friendly

301
00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:14,160
use thy life from any violence that pursues. Thus took

302
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,480
he in his lance, and it extended aloft the hatches,

303
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,359
which himself ascended. The Prince took seat at stern, and

304
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,519
on his right hand set thee a cleminus, and gave

305
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:27,240
command to all his men to arm and sea made

306
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,599
fast amidst the hollow keel the beechen mast, with abel

307
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,680
halsers hoist sail launch, which soon he saw obeyed, and

308
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:38,680
then his ship did run a merry course. Blue eyed

309
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Minerva sent a fore right gale tumultuous vehement along the air,

310
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:46,720
that her way's utmost yield the ship might make and

311
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,039
plow the brackish field. Then set the sun and night

312
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,759
blacked all the ways. The ship, with Jove's wind winged

313
00:19:55,079 --> 00:19:59,759
where the epian sways fetched fairest first, then eeleth the divine,

314
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:03,319
and then for those isles made that seaward shine for

315
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:06,880
form and sharpness, like a lance's head, about which lay

316
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,680
the wooer's ambushed, on which he rushed to try if

317
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,519
he could escape his plotted death or serve her treacherous rape.

318
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:19,119
And now return we to Eumias's shed, where at their

319
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,480
food with others, Marshal ed Ulysses and his noble herdsman

320
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,200
sate to try of whose love's curious estate stood firm

321
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:29,519
to his abode, or felt it fade, and so would

322
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:33,599
take each best cause to persuade his guest to town. Ulysses.

323
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,599
Thus contends hear me, Eumaeus and ye other friends. Next

324
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,119
morn to town, I covert to be gone to beg

325
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,880
some other's alms. Not still charge one advise me well, then,

326
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,480
and as well provide I may be fitted with an

327
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,160
honest guide for through the streets, since need will have it.

328
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,559
So I tread to find if any will bestow a

329
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:57,680
dish or drink on me, or a bit of bread,

330
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,480
till to Ulysses house I may be led, and there

331
00:21:01,519 --> 00:21:05,680
I'll tell all wise Penelope news mixed with the wooer's pride.

332
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,960
And since they use to fare above the full their

333
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,039
hands excite to some small feast from out their infinite,

334
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,799
for which I'll wait and play the serving man fairly

335
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,400
enough command the most they can, for I will tell

336
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,160
thee note me well and here that if the will

337
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,000
of Heaven's messenger, who to the works of men of

338
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:28,920
any sort can grace infuse in glory, nothing short am

339
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,759
I of him that doth the most aspire in any

340
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:35,000
service as to build a fire to cleave seer wood,

341
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:38,039
to roast or boil their meat, to wait at board,

342
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,319
mix wine, or know the neat, or any work in

343
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,440
which the poor call'd worst to serve the rich call'd

344
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:49,599
best in fate are forced. He angry with him, said, alas,

345
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,880
poor guest, why did this counsel ever touch thy breast?

346
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,720
Thou seek'st thy utter spoil beyond all doubt. If thou

347
00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:00,880
giv'st venture on the wooer's route, whose wrong force affects

348
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,079
the iron heaven, their light delights are far from being

349
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,480
given to such grave servitors. Youths richly tricked in coats

350
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:13,359
or cassocks, locks, divinely slicked, and looks most rapting ever

351
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,359
have the gift to taste their crown cups and full

352
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,920
trenchers shift their tables ever like their glasses shine, loaded

353
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,920
with bread, with varied flesh and wine. And thou go

354
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,720
thither stay, for here do none grudge at thy presence,

355
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,519
nor myself, nor one of all I feed. But when

356
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,799
ulysses Son again shall greet us, he shall put thee

357
00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:39,279
on both cote and cassock, and thy quick retreat set

358
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:44,079
where thy heart and soul desire, thy seat, industrious Ulysses

359
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,400
gave reply, I still much wish that Heaven's chief deity

360
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:51,400
love THEE as I do. That hast eased my mind

361
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:55,519
of woes and wanderings never yet confined. Naught is more

362
00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:59,400
wretched in a human race than countries want and shift

363
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,039
from place the place. But for the baneful belly. Men

364
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,759
take care beyond good counsel, whosoever are in compass of

365
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:11,000
the wants it undergoes by wanderings, losses, or dependent woes.

366
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,599
Excuse me, therefore, if I erred at home, which since

367
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,160
thou wilt make here as overcome with thy command for stay,

368
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,119
I'll take on me cares appertaining to this place like

369
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,279
THEE does. Then, Ulysses, sire and mother breathe, both whom

370
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:30,039
he left in the age next door to death? Or

371
00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:33,079
are they breathless and descended where the dark house is?

372
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,599
That never day doth clear. Laertes lives, said he, But

373
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,119
every hour beseecheth jove to take from him the power

374
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,480
that joins his life and limbs. For with a moan

375
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:48,160
that breeds a marvel, he laments his son, deprived by death,

376
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,240
and adds to that another of no less depth, For

377
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,960
that dead son's dead mother, whom he a virgin wedded,

378
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:58,640
which the more makes him lament her loss, and doth

379
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,200
deplore yet more her miss, because her womb the truer

380
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,359
was to his brave son, and his slaughter slew her,

381
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,240
which last love to her doth his life engage and

382
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,200
makes him live an undigested age. Oh, such a death

383
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:16,240
she died, as never may seize any one that here

384
00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:19,680
beholds the day that either is to any man a friend,

385
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,279
or can a woman kill in such a kind. As

386
00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:26,920
long as she had been, I would be a still inquirer,

387
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,799
since twas dear to me, though death to her to

388
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,440
hear his name. When she heard of Ulysses, for I

389
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,319
might be bold, she brought me up, and in her

390
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,000
love did hold my life compared with long veiled cantimony

391
00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:43,920
her youngest issue, and in some small degree her daughter

392
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:47,960
yet preferred a brave young dame, And when of youth

393
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,279
the dearly loved flame was lighted in us marriage, did

394
00:24:51,319 --> 00:24:55,599
prefer the maid Tossamos whence was sent for her infinite riches.

395
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,039
When the queen bestowed a fair new suit, new shoes

396
00:24:59,079 --> 00:25:02,480
and all, and vowed me to the field, but passing

397
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:05,200
loath to part, as loving me more than she loved

398
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,799
her heart. And these I want now, But their business

399
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:12,519
grows upon me daily, which the gods impose to whom

400
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:15,359
I hold all give account to them, for I see

401
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,440
none left to the diadem that may dispose all better.

402
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,599
So I drink and eat of what is here, and

403
00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:24,839
whom I think worthy or reverend I have given to

404
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,039
still these kinds of guest, writes for the household ill

405
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,119
which where the queen is Riot's takes her still from

406
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:36,480
thought of these things, nor is it delight to hear

407
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:40,839
from her plight of or worker word. The wooers spoil all.

408
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,400
But yet my men will board her sorrows, often with

409
00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:47,680
discourse of all eating and drinking of the festival that

410
00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:51,119
there is kept, and after bring to field such things

411
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,839
as servants make their pleasures yield o me Eumius, said

412
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,559
laertes Son. Hast thou then erd so of a little one,

413
00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,119
let like me, from friends and country, pray thee say

414
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,079
and say a truth doth vast destruction. Lay her hand

415
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,720
upon the wide weighed seat of men, where dwelt thy

416
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:14,039
sire and reverend mother. Then that thou art spared there

417
00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:17,519
or else set alone in guard of beaves or sheep,

418
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:22,519
set the enemy on, surprised and shipp'd, transferred and sold thee.

419
00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:26,200
Here he that bought thee paid well, yet bought not dear.

420
00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:31,359
Since thou enquirest of that, my guest said he herein

421
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,480
be silent and mean space, sit free in use of

422
00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:38,319
these cups to thy most delights unspeakable in length. Thou

423
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:41,759
are the knights. Those that affect sleep yet to sleep

424
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:45,519
have leave those that affect to hear their hearers give

425
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,640
but sleep not ere yr hour. Much sleep doth grieve.

426
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,240
Whoever list to sleep, away to bed together with the morning,

427
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,799
raise his head, together with his fellows, break his fast,

428
00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:01,480
and then his lord's herd drive to their repast. We

429
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,440
two still in our tabernacle, here drinking and eating will

430
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,759
our bosoms, cheer with memories and tails of our annoise

431
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:14,079
betwixt his sorrows, every human joys, he most who most

432
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,920
hath felt and furthest aired, And now thy will to

433
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
act shall be preferred. There is an isle above Ortygia.

434
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,000
If thou hast heard, they call it Syria, where once

435
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:29,559
a day the sun moves backward. Still tis not so

436
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,880
great as good for it doth fill the fields with oxen,

437
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,680
fills them still with sheep, fills roofs with wine, and

438
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:40,160
makes all corn their cheap. No dearth comes ever there,

439
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,720
nor no disease that doth with hate us wretched mortal sees.

440
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,000
But when men's varied nations dwelling there in any city

441
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:52,680
entered the aged year, the silver bow bearer the sun

442
00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:56,440
and she that bears as much renowned for archery, stoop

443
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,000
with their painless shafts, and strike them dead as one

444
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,359
one would sleep, and never keep the bed. In this

445
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,599
isle stand two cities betwixt whom all things that of

446
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,440
the soil's fertility come in. Two parts are divided, and

447
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:16,279
both these my father, rode Ketisius Ormonides, a man like

448
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,119
the immortals, with these states. The cross biting Phoenicians trafficked

449
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,200
rates of infinite merchandise in ships brought there, in which

450
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:28,920
they then were held exempt from pier There dwelt within

451
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,640
my father's house a dame born a Phoenician, skillful in

452
00:28:32,759 --> 00:28:37,000
the frame of noble housewiferies right, tall and fair. Her

453
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,480
the Phoenician great wench net layer with sweet words, circumvented

454
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,160
as she was washing her linen to his amorous pass.

455
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,200
He brought her first shored from his ship to her,

456
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:51,960
to whom he did his whole life's love prefer which

457
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000
of these breast exposing dames the heart's deceives, though fashioned

458
00:28:56,039 --> 00:29:00,319
of right honest parts. He asked her after what she was,

459
00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:04,880
and whence she passing? Presently the excellence told of her

460
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,319
father's turrets, and that she might boast herself sprung from

461
00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:11,400
the progeny of the rich Sidons, and the daughter was

462
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,440
of the much year revenued are of us, but that

463
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,200
the Taffian pirates made her prize. As she returned from

464
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,839
her field Housewifries transferred her hither, and at that man's

465
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:26,240
house where now she lived, for value precious sold her

466
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:29,400
to the owner he that stole her love. Bade her

467
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,000
again to her birth seat, remove to see the fair

468
00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:35,119
roofs of her friends again, who still held state, and

469
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:39,720
did the port maintain? Herself reported? She said, be it

470
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:42,599
so so you and all that in your ship shall

471
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,759
row swear to return me in all safety hands all

472
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:51,160
swore the oath passed with every consequence. She bade be

473
00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:54,079
silent now, and not a word to you or any

474
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:57,640
of your friends, afford meeting me afterward in any way

475
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,000
or at the washing fount, lest some display be made,

476
00:30:01,079 --> 00:30:03,720
and told the old man, and he then kept me

477
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,279
straight bound to you and to your men, the utter

478
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:11,160
ruin plotting of your lives. Keep in firm thought, then

479
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:15,160
every word that strives for dangerous utterance. Haste your ship's

480
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,920
full freight of what you traffic for, and let me

481
00:30:18,039 --> 00:30:22,200
straight know by some sent friend she hath all in hold,

482
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,319
and with myself I'll bring thence all the gold I

483
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,880
can by all means, finger and beside, I'll do my

484
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:32,319
best to see your freight supplied with some well weighing

485
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,240
burthen of mine own. For I can bring up in

486
00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:39,160
house a great man's son, as crafty as myself, who

487
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:42,680
will with me run every way along, and I will

488
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,440
be his leader till your ship hath made him. Sure

489
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:49,960
he will an infinite great price procure transfer him to

490
00:30:50,039 --> 00:30:54,400
what languaged men. Ye may this said? She gat her home,

491
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,000
and there made stay a whole year with us goods

492
00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:02,000
of great avail, their ship enriching, which now fit for sale.

493
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,400
They sent a messenger to inform the Dame, and to

494
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:09,200
my father's house a fellow came full of Phoenician craft

495
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,319
that to be sold. A tablet brought the body all

496
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:16,640
of gold, the verge all amber. This had ocular view

497
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,799
both by my honor'd mother and the crew of her housemaids. Handled,

498
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:24,519
and the price beat asked and promised. And while this

499
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,519
device lay thus upon the forge, this jeweler made privy

500
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:32,240
signs by winks and wiles to her. That was his object,

501
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,599
which she took. And he is sighing seeing noted hide

502
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,759
to ship. When she my hand, still taking as she

503
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,920
used to do, to walk abroad with her, convey'd me

504
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:47,680
so abroad with her, And in the portico found cups

505
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,440
with tasted viands, which the guests that used to flock

506
00:31:51,519 --> 00:31:56,079
about my father's feasts had left. They gone, some to

507
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,640
the council court, some to hear news amongst the talking sort.

508
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:03,400
Hearth hath three bowls into her lap, convey'd and forth

509
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,960
she went. Nor was my wit so stay'd to stay

510
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,240
her or myself. The sun went down, and shadows round

511
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,440
about the world were flown. When we came to the haven,

512
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,279
in which did ride the swift Phoenician ship, whose fair

513
00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:21,839
broadside they boarded straight, took us up, and all went

514
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,759
along the moist waves. When Saturnius sent six days, we

515
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,440
day and night sail'd. But when Jove put up the

516
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,160
seventh day, she that shafts doth love shot dead, the

517
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,359
woman who into the pomp like toadopchek dived and gave

518
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,759
a thump in her sad Settling forth they cast her

519
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:43,880
then to serve the fish and sea calves no more men.

520
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,079
But I was left there with a heavy heart when

521
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,480
wind and water grave them quit apart their own course,

522
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,480
and on Ithaca they fell. And there poor me did

523
00:32:54,519 --> 00:32:58,319
to LAERTI sell. And thus these eyes the sight of

524
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,960
this isle prov'd Eumaeus. He replied, Thou much hast moved

525
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,519
the mind in me with all things thou hast said,

526
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:10,680
and all the sufferance on thy bosom laid. But truly

527
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,440
to thy ill hath Jove join'd good, that one whose

528
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:17,680
veins are served with human blood, hath bought thy service

529
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,240
that gives competence of food, wine, cloth thee, and sure

530
00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:25,960
the expense of thy life's date here is of good dessert,

531
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,960
whose labors not to thee alone impart sufficient food and housing.

532
00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:34,440
But to me, where I, through many a heaped humanity,

533
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:38,359
have hither erred, where though like thee, not sold, nor

534
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,279
stay'd like thee, yet nor not needful hold this mutual

535
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:47,119
speech they used, nor had they slept much time before

536
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,359
the much near morning leaped to her fair throne, and

537
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,240
now struck sail. The men that served Telemachus arrived just

538
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:58,000
then near his lov'd shore, where now they stoop'd the mast,

539
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,319
made to the port with oars and maker cast, made

540
00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:05,160
fast the ship, and then ashore they went, dressed, supper

541
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,360
filled wine. When their appetite spent, Telemachus commanded they should

542
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,599
yield the ship to the owner, while himself at field

543
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:16,559
would see his shepherds. When light drew to end, he

544
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,960
would his gift see and to town descend, and in

545
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,440
the morning, at a feast, bestow rewards for all their pains.

546
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,440
And whither now said theoclemenus, my loved son, shall I

547
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,239
address myself whose mansion? Of all men in this rough

548
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,800
hewn ale? Shall I direct my way to? Or go

549
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,079
readily to thy house and thy mother? He replied, Another

550
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:43,440
time I'll see you satisfied with my house entertainment. But

551
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:46,239
as now you should encounter none that could bestow your

552
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,480
fit entreaty, and which less grace were you could not

553
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:54,679
see my mother. I not there, for she's no frequent object,

554
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,719
but a part keeps from her wars wood, with her

555
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,039
dessert up in her chamber at her Housewi liferee, But

556
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:04,079
I'll name one to whom you shall apply direct repair,

557
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,920
and that's Eurymicus renowned assent to wise Paulbus, a man

558
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,159
whom the Ethachensians look on now as on a god,

559
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,159
since he of all that woe is far superior man

560
00:35:16,639 --> 00:35:19,760
and likest far to wed my mother, and as circular

561
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,719
be in that honor as Ulysses was. But heaven, How's

562
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,440
Jove knows the yet hidden pass of her disposure, And

563
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:30,440
on them he may a blacker sight bring than her

564
00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:34,440
nuptial day. As this he uttered, on his right hand

565
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,079
flew a sacre sacred to the God of view that

566
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,400
in his talons trust, and plumed a dove. The feathers

567
00:35:41,559 --> 00:35:45,280
round the ship did rove, and on Telemachus fell, whom

568
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,519
the augur then took fast by the hand, withdrew him

569
00:35:48,519 --> 00:35:52,679
from his men, and said, Telemachus, this hawk is sent

570
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,719
from God. I knew it for a sure ostent when

571
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,159
first I saw it be you well assured that will

572
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,800
no war be ye by heaven endur'd to rule in

573
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,480
Ithaca above your race, but your powers ever fill the

574
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:09,760
regal place I wish to heaven, said he thy word

575
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,480
might stand. Thou men shouldt soon acknowledge from my hand

576
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:17,000
such gifts and friendship as would make thee guest met

577
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:21,119
and saluted as no less than blest. This said He

578
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:26,320
called Pyrieus Clytus's son his true associate, saying, thou hast

579
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,800
done of all my followers to the pillion shore my

580
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,559
will in chief in other things. Once more, be chiefly

581
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:36,880
good to me. Take to thy house this loved stranger,

582
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:39,599
and be studious to embrace and greet him with thy

583
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:43,239
greatest fare, till I myself come and take off thy care.

584
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,679
The famous for his lance said, if your stay take

585
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,679
time for life here this man's care all lay on

586
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,599
my performance, Nor what fits a guest. Shall any pennary

587
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,840
withhold his feast. Thus took his ship, bade them board

588
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,360
in a way. They boarded, sat, but did their labor

589
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,440
stay till he had decked his feet and reached his lance.

590
00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:08,760
They to the city. He did straight advance up to

591
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,320
his sties, where swine lay for him store by whose

592
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,280
side did his honest swineherd snore till his short cares,

593
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,760
his longest nights had ended, And nothing worse to both

594
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,880
his lords intended end of the fifteenth book
