ERRORS IN POPE'S HOMER'S ODYSSEY.
In all the editions I have seen of this translation, the following very palpable errors exist, which I do not remember to have seen noticed. The first of these errors is contained in book ix. lines 325, 326, 463, and 533,
"Fools that ye are! (the savage thus replies,
His inward fury blazing at his eyes.)"
"Sing'd are his brows: the scorching lids grow black."
"Seest thou these lids that now unfold in vain?"
and consists in Mr. Pope having bestowed two organs of sight on the giant Polypheme.
