That sleepest thus so nigh the public road:

Arouse thee, man, and guard thy store: Look to it!

Ay, if some passer-by have not already

Filched from thee a sad loan of bronze or iron.

For though we reverence Zeus, thou giv’st occasion

To make a thief even of an honest man.

ULYSSES (awaking).

Hail, friend, whom first my waking eyes behold

Here in this land: and since thou speakest friendly,

Prove now my friend, and show how best to save
