PRÉSENTATION D'ULYSSE A NAUSICA.
A l'aspect du héros souillé de limon noir,
Tout fuit, mais Nausica dans sa pudeur naïve;

Quel Dieu noble étranger t'amène en mon lavoir?
(Traduction inédite de Mr. Casimir Delavigne).
Translation:
Introduction of Ulysses to Nausica.
At the sight of the hero, dirty with black silt,
Everyone flees, but Nausicaa in her naive modesty
Asks him, blushing, without leaving her laundry:
What strange noble God brings you to my washing place?"
