The glittering seat Telemachus ascends;

       His faithful guide Pisistratus attends;

       With hasty hand the ruling reins he drew;

       He lash'd the coursers, and the coursers flew.

       Beneath the bounding yoke alike they hold

       Their equal pace, and smoked along the field.

       The towers of Pylos sink, its views decay,

       Fields after fields fly back, till close of day;

       Then sunk the sun, and darken'd all the way.

       To Pherae now, Diocleus' stately seat

       (Of Alpheus' race), the weary youths retreat.

       His house affords the hospitable rite,

       And pleased they sleep (the blessing of the night).

       But when Aurora, daughter of the dawn,

       With rosy lustre purpled o'er the lawn,

       Again they mount, their journey to renew,

       And from the sounding portico they flew.

       Along the waving fields their way they hold

       The fields receding as their chariot roll'd;

       Then slowly sunk the ruddy globe of light,

       And o'er the shaded landscape rush'd the night.

       Table of Contents

      Telemachus with Pisistratus arriving at Sparta, is hospitably received by Menelaus to whom he relates the cause of his coming, and learns from him many particulars of what befell the Greeks since the destruction of Troy. He dwells more at large upon the prophecies of Proteus to him in his return; from which he acquaints Telemachus that Ulysses is detained in the island of Calypso.

      In the meantime the suitors consult to destroy Telemachus on the voyage home. Penelope is apprised of this; but comforted in a dream by Pallas, in the shape of her sister Iphthima.
