Book XII of The Odyssey
translated by Alexander Pope
The Sirene, Scylla, And Charybdis.
An alluring lullaby, far more potent than our shore lanterns; if only I can make it sing...
Next, where the Sirens dwells, you plough the seas.
Their song is death, and makes destruction please.
Unblest the man, whom music wins to stay
Nigh the cursed shore and listen to the lay.
No more than wretch shall view the joys of life
His blooming offspring, or his beauteous wife!
In verdant meads they sport; and wide around
Lie human bones that whiten all the ground
The ground polluted floats with human gore,
And human carnage taints the dreadful shore
As God made the vittles, the devil made the cook!.
Fly swift the dangerous coast: let every ear
Be stopp'd against the song! 'tis death to hear!
Firm to the mast with chains thyself be bound,
Nor trust thy virtue to the enchanting sound.
If, mad with transport, freedom thou demand,
Be every fetter strain'd , and added band to band.
And if reversed, as Andromeda was once bound to the rocks, can its mournful lament lure others?
