1. Odysseus saw him and said, "O Eurymachus, who
Is this enemy with veiled eyes come as a spy

2. To watch the fleet, or left behind to plunder
The dead?" Let him alone to pass in front of us

3. So we can seize him where his way is narrow.
But if he gets by unseen, follow with a spear

4. And cut him off from reaching his men at their ships,
Driving him back, though he struggle to escape.
