THE Ergo-ment.
Ulysses in this Book begins
A story of those Woes he reckons,
Were heap'd upon him for his sins,
And first how he was catcht by th' Cicons.
And then he tells a cursed Lie
Of People, that by smell do live (hum!)
Then to the Cyclop he do hie
And shews what welcome he did give 'um.
And how for eating up, unkindly
Six of his Men, he pok'd his Eye out;
And how this Giant groping blindly
About the Cave, let them all fly out.
