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
