As for the lions, tigers, and wolves, (though
Circe would have restored them to their former
shapes at his slightest word,) Ulysses thought
it advisable that they should remain as they
now were, and thus give warning of their cruel
dispositions, instead of going about under the
guise of men, and pretending to human sympa-
thies, while their hearts had the bloodthirstiness
of wild beasts. So he let them howl as much
as they liked, but never troubled his head about
them. And, when every thing was settled ac-
cording to his pleasure, he sent to summon the
remainder of his comrades, whom he had left at
the sea shore. These being arrived, with the.
prudent Eurylochus at their head, they all made
themselves comfortable in Circe's enchanted
palace, until quite rested and refreshed from the
toils and hardships of their voyage.
