ULYSSES takes his leave of Alcinous and Arete, and embarks in the evening, Next morning the ship arrives at Ithaca ; where the failors, as Ulysses is yet Neeping, lay him on the shore with all his treasures. On their return Neptune changes their ship into a rock. In the mean time Ulysses, awaking, knows not his native Ithaca, by reason of a mift which Pollas had cast round him. He breaks into loud lamentations : till the Goddess, appearing to him in the form of a shepherd, discovers the country, to him, and points out the particular places. He then tells a feigned ftory of his adventures, upon which she manifefts herself, and they consult together of the measures to be taken to destroy the suitors.
