THE ARGUMENT

Minerva to his native seat.

Exhorts Ulysses’ son’s retreat,

In bed, and waking. He receives

Gifts of Atrides, and so leaves

The Spartan court. And, going aboard,

Doth favourable way afford

To Theoclymenus, that was

The Argive augur, and sought pass,

Fled for a slaughter he had done.

Eumæus tells Laertes’ son,

How he became his father’s man,

Being sold by the Phœnician

For some agreed-on faculties,

From forth the Syrian isle made prise.

Telemachus, arrived at home,

Doth to Eumæus’ cottage come.
