189 Now amicable conversation Cements this kind conciliation: Thus, when ULYSSES came from sea, To glad his dear PENELOPE, The live-long night they spent discoursing How PRIAM let the wooden horse in: And how the Greeks came rushing out, And fill'd old Ilium with the rout! Or how the nymph, with artful wiles, And tea, and chocolate, and smiles, And every thing that could oblige ye, Had try'd to keep him in Ogygia! She tells him how the bold EURYMACHUS Had strove to take her from TELEMACHUS; The suitors how she try'd to cheat, By ravelling old LAERTES’ sheet; And how, one night they found her busy, And call'd her a deceitful hussy. All this, and more, is laid before ye, And makes a fine pathetic story; Which will to latest times be heard, Told by the blind old Grecian bard. But should I labour to record My wise discourses with my lord, The noblest efforts efforts I could make Would sink in drear oblivion's lake:
