  1. When young Dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more
  2. the monster relit his fire and milked his handsome ewes,
  3. each in order, putting a suckling underneath each dam,
  4. and as soon as he’d briskly finished all his chores
  5. he snatched up two more men and fixed his meal.
  6. Well-fed, he drove his fat sheep from the cave,
  7. lightly lifting the huge doorslab up and away,
  8. then slipped it back in place
  9. as a hunter flips the lid of his quiver shut.
  10.  
  11. The Odyssey, Book 9, Translated by Robert Fagles.
