Cyclops.
Ai, ai ! the ancient oracle is accomplished ; . It said that I should have my eyesight blinded By one coming from Troy ; yet it foretold That you should pay the penalty for this, By wandering long over the homeless sea.
Ulysses.
I bid thee weep ; consider what I say, I go towards the shore to drive my ship To mine own land, o'er the Sicilian wave.
Cyclops, Not so, if whelming you with this huge stone I can crush you and all your men together ; I will descend upon the shore, though blin...d, Groping my way adown the steep ravine.
Chorus.
And we, the shipmates of Ulysses now, Will serve our Bacchus all our happy lives.
SHELLEY.
176 POETHY OF THE AGE OF FABLE.
AEOLUS.
THEE, son of Jove, whose sceptre was confessed Where fair ^Eolia springs from Tethys' breast ; Thence on Olympus, 'mid celestials placed, God of the winds, and ^Ether's boundless waste, Thee I invoke ! O, puff my bold design, Prompt the bright thought, and swell the harmo- nious line.
But while I count thy gifts, be mine to shun The deprecated prize Ulysses won ; Who, sailing homeward from thy breezy shore, The prisoned winds in skins of parchment bore.
