HOMER's ODYSSEY.
Book VI.
Daughter invincible of Jove supreme! 400
Oh, hear me! Hear me now, because when erst
The mighty Shaker of the shores incensed
Toss'd me from wave to wave, thou heard'st me not.
Grant me, among Phæacia's sons, to find
Benevolence and pity of my woes! 405
He spake, whose pray'r well-pleas'd the Goddess heard,
But, rev'rencing the [1]brother of her sire,
Appear'd not to Ulysses yet, whom he
Pursued with fury to his native shores.
