THE ARGUMENT

He shows from Hell his safe retreat

To th’ isle Ææa, Circe’s seat;

And how he ’scap’d the Sirens’ calls,

With th’ erring rocks, and waters’ falls,

That Scylla and Charybdis break;

The Sun’ s stol’ n herds; and his sad wreak

Both of Ulysses’ ship and men,

His own head ’scaping scarce the pain.
