Sunlands
and leamed the minds of many distant men
and weathered many bitter nights and days
in his deep heart at sea while he fought only
to save his life to bring his shipmates home
But not by will nor valor could he save them
for their own recklessness destroyed them all

Of these adventures Muse daughter of Zeus
tell us in our time, the great song again
