The
FIFTH BOOK OF HOMER'S ODYSSEY.

Translated.

Aurora, rising from her couch besideThe famed Tithonus, brought the light of dayTo men and to immortals. Then the godsCame to their seats in council. With them cameHigh thundering Jupiter, amongst them allThe mightiest. Pallas, mindful of the past,Spoke of Ulysses and his many woes,Grieved that he still was with the island nymph.
