COME, worthy Greek! Ulysses, come, <br> Possess these shores with me: <br>The winds and seas are troublesome, <br> And here we may be free. <br>Here may we sit and view their toil <br> That travail in the deep, <br>And joy the day in mirth the while, <br> And spend the night in sleep. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ulysses. Fair Nymph, if fame or honour were <br> To be attain'd with ease, <br>Then would I come and rest me there, <br> And leave such toils as these. <br>But here it dwells, and here must I <br> With danger seek it forth: <br>To spend the time luxuriously <br> Becomes not men of worth. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Siren. Ulysses, O be not deceived <br> With that unreal name; <br>This honour is a thing conceived, <br> And rests on others' fame: <br>Begotten only to molest <br> Our peace, and to beguile <br>The best thing of our life--our rest, <br> And give us up to toil. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ulysses. Delicious Nymph, suppose there were <br> No honour nor report, <br>Yet manliness would scorn to wear <br> The time in idle sport: <br>For toil doth give a better touch <br> To make us feel our joy, <br>And ease finds tediousness as much <br> As labour yields annoy. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Siren. Then pleasure likewise seems the shore <br> Whereto tends all your toil, <br>Which you forgo to make it more, <br> And perish oft the while. <br>Who may disport them diversely <br> Find never tedious day, <br>And ease may have variety <br> As well as action may. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ulysses. But natures of the noblest frame <br> These toils and dangers please; <br>And they take comfort in the same <br> As much as you in ease; <br>And with the thought of actions past <br> Are recreated still: <br>When Pleasure leaves a touch at last <br> To show that it was ill. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Siren. That doth Opinion only cause <br> That 's out of Custom bred, <br>Which makes us many other laws <br> Than ever Nature did. <br>No widows wail for our delights, <br> Our sports are without blood; <br>The world we see by warlike wights <br> Receives more hurt than good. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ulysses. But yet the state of things require <br> These motions of unrest: <br>And these great Spirits of high desire <br> Seem born to turn them best: <br>To purge the mischiefs that increase <br> And all good order mar: <br>For oft we see a wicked peace <br> To be well changed for war. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Siren. Well, well, Ulysses, then I see <br> I shall not have thee here: <br>And therefore I will come to thee, <br> And take my fortune there. <br>I must be won, that cannot win, <br> Yet lost were I not won; <br>For beauty hath created been <br> T' undo, or be undone.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Samuel+Daniel">Samuel Daniel</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=512639" data-title="Ulysses and the Siren de Samuel Daniel" data-description="Siren.
