No artful tales, no ftudied lies, I frame,
Ulyffes lives (rejoins the reverend dame)
In that dishonour'd ftranger's clofe difguife,
Long has he pafs'd all unfufpecting eyes,
All but thy fon's-and long has he fuppreft
The well-concerted fecret in his breast;
Till his brave father fhould his foes defeat,
And the clofe fcheme of his revenge compleat.
Swift as the word the queen transported sprung,
And round the dame in ftrict embraces hung;
Then as the big round tears began to roll,
Spoke the quick doubts and hurry of her foul.
If my victorious hero fafe arrives,
If my dear lord, Ulyffes, ftill furvives,
Tell me, oh tell me, how he fought alone?
How were fuch multitudes destroy'd by one?
Nought I beheld, but heard their cries, the faid,
When death flew raging, and the fuitors bled:
Immur'd we liften'd, as we fat around,
To each deep groan and agonizing found.
Call'd by thy fon to view the feene I fled,
And faw Ulyffes ftriding o'er the dead !
Amidst the rifing heaps the hero ftood
All grim, and terribly adorn'd with blood.
