And after they with food were satisfi'd,It came into their minds to play at Ball,And spend the time so till the clothes were dri'd.The tune Nausicaa sung for them all.As when upon Mount Erymanthus highOr on Taygetus stands Artemis,And many Rural fair Nymphs playing by.But she than all the rest much taller is;And the wild Boars and Harts delights to see,But more her Mother Leda to see her.For though they fair were all, yet fairer she;So shew'd Nausicaa and her Maidens there.And when 'twas time that they should homewards go,And that the Clothes into the Coach were laid,And Mules set to, Athena thought on howUlysses should awake and see the Maid,And be conducted by her to the Town.Nausicaa then throws the Ball and misses;The Ball unto the River falleth down.Then shout the Maids. At that awakt Ulysses.And sitting up unto himself he said,Ay me, where am I now? 'Mongst men unjust,And such as of the Gods are not afraid?Or good and godly men, whom I may trust?But female are the voices which I hear.Are they some Nymphs that haunt the Mountains high,Or keep the Meadows green, or waters clearOr are they Mortals whom I am so nigh?But why go I not out my self and see?Then with strong hand he wringed off a bough?With many leaves upon it from a Tree,To cover what became him not to show.Then as a Lion confident and bold,Howe'r it blow or rain with fiery eyesComes from the Mountain to a Herd or Fold,And on the Flock at last his fortune tries;So came Ulysses boldly from the WoodStark naked, fore'd to't by necessity,And in the presence of the Maidens stood.The sight was terrible and made them fly.0
