Ulysses and his friends. Knowst thou ’tis they

Are come unto the isle to seek thee?

Ach.Ay.

But thou art ready to outwit their wile.

As thou didst bring me hither on that night

When all thy nymphs, assembling ’neath the moon

Upon the Achæan shore, bore me away

Across the sea, even so to Aulis now

Convey me secretly, and set me there,

Ere men know whence I come.
