“Of a young shepherd, delicately formed,

As are the sons of kings. A mantle lay

Upon her shoulder in rich folds, her feet

Shone in their sandals: in her hand she bore

A javelin. As Ulysses saw, his heart

Was glad within him, and he hastened on

And thus accosted her with wingèd words,

‘Fair youth, who art the first whom I have met

Upon this shore, I bid thee hail, and hope

Thou meetest me with no unkind intent.
