Homer

Homer. Hesiod, The Homeric Hymns and Homerica. Evelyn-White, Hugh G. (Hugh Gerard), editor. London: William Heinmann; New York: The Macmillan Co., 1914.

  1. all ye who dwell in the high city of Cyme, the lovely maiden,
  2. hard by the foothills of lofty Sardene,
  3. ye who drink the heavenly water of the divine stream,
  4. eddying Hermus, whom deathless Zeus begot.
  1. Speedily may my feet bear me to some town of righteous men;
  2. for their hearts are generous and their wit is best.
