HOMER'S ODYSSEY, in I And whence your race ? on what adventure, fay.
Thus far ye wander thro' the wat'ry way ? 8^ Relate, if bufmefs, or the thirft of gain.
Engage your journey o'er the pathlefs main : Where favage Pirates feek thro* feas unknown The lives of others, vent'rous of their owi;.
Urg'd by the precepts by the Goddefs giv'n, 90 And fiird with confidence infus'd from heav'n.
