"“Nausicaa, How bare thy mother such a careless child? Neglected all thy rich attire is piled: Yet nigh thy wedding is, when thou must wear Fair raiment on thyself, and bring it fair To them that lead thee; for it causeth fame To mount abroad for good, to go thus clad, And maketh father's heart and mother's glad. Come therefore, at the daybreak let us fare A-washing; I will also go, to be Thy workfellow, and get thee quickly sped,— For thou shalt not rest long in maidenhead:— The best of all our men are wooing thee In this Phaeacian land, where thou wast born.”"
Hymen
