AS rose in heaven the morning clear and bright, | |
| Ida’s long towery ridge appeared in sight; | |
| Next Chrysa’s isle, and Smintheus’ holy fane, | |
| Then bold Sigeum beetling o’er the main; | |
| And great Pelides’ tomb,—that point alone | 5 |
| With gentle care Ulysses to the son | |
| Delayed, far rising o’er the waves, to show, | |
| Cautious to make the deep but slumbering woe. | | | | |
