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 Aeae, the enchantress,

desired me, and detained me in her hall.

But in my heart I never gave consent.

Where shall a man find sweetness to surpass his own home and his parents?

In far lands he shall not, though he find a house of gold.
