13
- O friends, oh ever partners of my woes,
14
- Attend while I what Heaven foredooms disclose.
15
- Hear all! Fate hangs o'er all; on you it lies
16
- To live or perish! to be safe, be wise!
17

18
- 'In flowery meads the sportive Sirens play,
19
- Touch the soft lyre, and tine the vocal lay;
20
- Me, me alone, with fetters firmly bound,
21
- The gods allow to hear the dangerous sound.
22
- Hear and obey; if freedom I demand,
23
- Be every fetter strain'd, be added band to band.
24
-
25
- While yet I speak the winged galley flies,
26
- And lo! the Siren shores like mists arise.
27
- Sunk were at once the winds; the air above,
28
- And waves below, at once forgot to move;
29
- Some demon calm'd the air and smooth'd the deep,
30
- Hush'd the loud winds, and charm'd the waves to sleep.
31
- Now every sail we furl, each oar we ply;
32
- Lash'd by the stroke, the frothy waters fly.
33
- The ductile wax with busy hands I mould,
34
- And cleft in fragments, and the fragments roll'd;
35
- The aerial region now grew warm with day,
36
- The wax dissolved beneath the burning ray;
37
- Then every ear I barr'd against the strain,
38
- And from access of frenzy lock'd the brain.
39
- Now round the masts my mates the fetters roll'd,
40
- And bound me limb by limb with fold on fold.
41
- Then bending to the stroke, the active train
42
- Plunge all at once their oars, and cleave the main
43
-
44
- While to the shore the rapid vessel flies,
45
- Our swift approach the Siren choir descries;
46
- Celestial music warbles from their tongue,
47
- And thus the sweet deluders tune the song:
48
-
49
- 'Oh stay, O pride of Greece! Ulysses, stay!
50
- Oh cease thy course, and listen to our lay!
51
- Blest is the man ordain'd our voice to hear,
52
- The song instructs the soul, and charms the ear.
53
- Approach! thy soul shall into raptures rise!
54
- Approach! and learn new wisdom from the wise!
55
- We know whate'er the kings of mighty name
56
- Achieved at Ilion in the field of fame;
57
- Whate'er beneath the sun's bright journey lies.
58
- Oh stay, and learn new wisdom from the wise!'
59
-
60
- Thus the sweet charmers warbled o'er the main;
61
- My soul takes wing to meet the heavenly strain;
62
- I give the sign, and struggle to be free;
63
- Swift row my mates, and shoot along the sea;
64
- New chains they add, and rapid urge the way,
65
- Till, dying off, the distant sounds decay;
66
- hen scudding swiftly from the dangerous ground,
67
- The deafen'd ear unlock'd, the chains unbound.
