Страница 104 - O, say, what angry power Elpenor led To glide in shades, and wander with the dead ? How could thy soul, by realms and seas disjoined, Outfly the nimble sail, and leave the lagging wind...
Страница 68 - They went and found a hospitable race; Not prone to ill, nor strange to foreign guest, They eat, they drink, and nature gives the feast; The trees around them, all their fruit produce; Lotos, the name; divine nectareous juice!
