Two nights yet, and daies,
He spent in wrestling with the sable seas;
In which space, often did his heart propose
Death to his eyes. But when Aurora rose,
And threw the third light from her orient haire;
The winds grew calme, and cleare was all the aire,
Not one breath stirring. Then he might descrie
(Raisd by the high seas) cleare, the land was nie.
And then, looke how to good sonnes that esteeme
Their fathers life deare, (after pains extreame,
Felt in some sicknesse, that hath held him long
Downe to his bed; and with affections strong,
Wasted his bodie; made his life his lode;
As being inflicted by some angrie God)
When on their praires, they see descend at length
Health from the heavens, clad all in spirit and strength;
The sight is precious: so, since here should end
Ulysses’ toiles; which therein should extend
Health to his countrie (held to him, his Sire)
And on which, long for him, Disease did tire;
And then, besides, for his owne sake to see
The shores, the woods so neare; such joy had he,
As those good sonnes for their recover’d Sire.
Then labourd feet and all parts, to aspire
To that wisht Continent; [...]

ἔνθα δύω νύκτας δύο τ'ἤματα κύματι πηγῷ
πλάζετο, πολλὰ δέ οἱ κραδίη προτιόσσετ'ὄλεθρον.
ἀλλ'ὅτε δὴ τρίτον ἦμαρ ἐυπλόκαμος τέλεσ'Ἠώς,
καὶ τότ'ἔπειτ'ἄνεμος μὲν ἐπαύσατο ἠδὲ γαλήνη
ἔπλετο νηνεμίη: ὁ δ'ἄρα σχεδὸν εἴσιδε γαῖαν
ὀξὺ μάλα προϊδών, μεγάλου ὑπὸ κύματος ἀρθείς.
ὡς δ'ὅτ'ἂν ἀσπάσιος βίοτος παίδεσσι φανήῃ
πατρός, ὃς ἐν νούσῳ κεῖται κρατέρ'ἄλγεα πάσχων,
δηρὸν τηκόμενος, στυγερὸς δέ οἱ ἔχραε δαίμων,
ἀσπάσιον δ'ἄρα τόν γε θεοὶ κακότητος ἔλυσαν,
ὣς Ὀδυσεῖ ἀσπαστὸν ἐείσατο γαῖα καὶ ὕλη,
νῆχε δ'ἐπειγόμενος ποσὶν ἠπείρου ἐπιβῆναι.
Homer: Odyssey V, 388-399
