Who brought me hither, and it be indeed
Ithaca, or whether, as I rather fear,
Some other land, to which my fated curse
Hales me, or ever I may see my own?
Ath. ’Tis Ithaca.
Ul.I pray thee by my longing
For that dear boon, goddess, deceive me not.
Ath. Thou dost not yet believe; but if I show thee
Thy very Ithaca, wilt thou believe?
Turn now and set thy back against the noise
