I shall not see on earth a place more dear,
though I have been
detained long by Calypso,
loveliest among goddesses, who held
me
in her smooth caves, to be her heart's delight,
as Circe
of Aeaea, the enchantress,

man find sweetness to surpass
his own home and his parents? In
far lands
he shall not, though he find a house of gold.
