Pheidon was kind to me, and there I heard—

Nor yet are many weeks passed since that day—

Full tidings of Ulysses, and I saw

What wealth his arm had gotten: he himself

Was travelled to Dodona, but by this

Should be returned.

Eum.Stranger, if all thy words,

That grow in number, should outreach in tale

The moments of his absence, they were vainly

Poured in mine ears.
