Lines from Pope's translation of Homer's "The Odyssey," Book XVII.

These four lines describe Ulysses's emotions at meeting his loyal dog Argos. Not including the second part of the fourth line, "then thus impassion'd cried."

Soft pity touched the mighy masters soul;
Adown his cheek the tear unbidden stole,
Stole unperceiv'd, he turned his head and dryed
The Drop humane --   ----Pope
