Thus much he said, that still Ulysses lived,

But with the nymph Calypso in her isle

By subtle sleights withheld; in whom it lay

That he was not returned, and might not yet;

But there abode. Then, since he knew no more,

I sped me home, and should have sped to death,

Had not divine Athenè sent a dream

To warn me of the ambush, with the wind

To bring me round the isle: wherefore I bid thee

Perform the sacrifice, lest for such favour
