The Whole Works of Homer | ||
The Argvment.
Receiu'd now, in the Spartan CourtTelemachus, preferres report
To Menelaus, of the throng
Of wooers with him, and their wrong.
Atrides tels the Greekes retreate,
And doth a Prophecie repeate,
That Proteus made; by which he knew
His brothers death; and then doth shew
How with Calypso liu'd the fire
Of his yong guest. The woo'rs conspire
Their Princes death: whose trechery knowne,
Penelope in teares doth drowne.
Whom Pallas by a dreame doth cheare,
And in similitude appeare
Of faire Iphthima, knowne to be
The sister of Penelope.
