[00:22.20]Thus with stretched sail, we went over sea till day's end
[00:28.56]Sun to his slumber, shadows o'er all the ocean
[00:32.37]Came we then to the bounds of deepest water
[00:36.09]Covered with close-webbed mist, unpierced ever
[00:40.74]With glitter of sun-rays
[00:43.38]Nor with stars stretched, nor looking back from heaven
[00:48.21]Swartest night stretched over wreteched men there
[00:53.67]The ocean flowing backward, came we then to the place
[00:58.08]Aforesaid by Circe
[00:58.89]Here did they rites, Perimedes and Eurylochus
[01:04.77]And drawing sword from my hip
[01:08.97]I dug the ell-square pitkin;
[01:11.67]Poured we libations unto each the dead
[01:16.08]First mead and then sweet wine, water mixed with white flour
[01:22.26]Then prayed I many a prayer to the sickly death's-heads;
[01:26.91]As set in Ithaca, sterile bulls of the best
[01:31.32]For sacrifice, heaping the pyre with goods
[01:37.05]A sheep to Tiresias only, black and a bell-sheep
[01:43.08]Dark blood flowed in the fosse
[01:44.85]Souls out of Erebus, cadaverous dead, of brides
[01:48.42]Of youths and of the old who had borne much;
[01:51.15]Souls stained with recent tears, girls tender
[01:57.33]Men many, mauled with bronze lance heads
[02:02.55]Battle spoil, bearing yet dreory arms
[02:07.02]These many crowded about me; with shouting
[02:10.95]Pallor upon me, cried to my men for more beasts;
[02:16.23]Slaughtered the herds, sheep slain of bronze;
[02:19.77]Poured ointment, cried to the gods
[02:24.42]To Pluto the strong, and praised Proserpine;
[02:27.66]Unsheathed the narrow sword
[02:31.95]I sat to keep off the impetuous impotent dead
[02:36.15]Till I should hear Tiresias
[02:37.38]But first Elpenor came, our friend Elpenor
[02:40.92]Unburied, cast on the wide earth
[02:47.94]Limbs that we left in the house of Circe
[02:50.76]Unwept, unwrapped in the sepulchre, since toils urged other
[02:57.69]Pitiful spirit
