Οὖτις ἐμοί γʼ ὄνομα · Οὖτιν δέ με κικλήσκουσι
μήτηρ ἠδὲ πατὴρ ἠδʼ ἄλλοι πάντες ἑταῖροι .
ὣς ἐφάμην , ὁ δέ μʼ αὐτίκʼ ἀμείβετο νηλέι θυμῷ ·
Οὖτιν ἐγὼ πύματον ἔδομαι μετὰ οἷς ἑτάροισιν ,
τοὺς δʼ ἄλλους πρόσθεν · τὸ δέ τοι ξεινήιον ἔσται .
ἦ καὶ ἀνακλινθεὶς πέσεν ὕπτιος , αὐτὰρ ἔπειτα
κεῖτʼ ἀποδοχμώσας παχὺν αὐχένα , κὰδ δέ μιν ὕπνος
ᾕρει πανδαμάτωρ · φάρυγος δʼ ἐξέσσυτο οἶνος
ψωμοί τʼ ἀνδρόμεοι · ὁ δʼ ἐρεύγετο οἰνοβαρείων .
καὶ τότʼ ἐγὼ τὸν μοχλὸν ὑπὸ σποδοῦ ἤλασα πολλῆς ,
ἧος θερμαίνοιτο · ἔπεσσι δὲ πάντας ἑταίρους
θάρσυνον , μή τίς μοι ὑποδείσας ἀναδύη .

My
name
is
Nohbdy
:
mother
,
father
,
and
friends
,
everyone calls me Nohbdy . ' And he said :
' Nohbdy ' s my meat , then , after I eat his friends .
Others come first . There ' s a noble gift , now . '
Even as he spoke , he reeled and tumbled backward ,
his great head lolling to one side ; and sleep
took him like any creature . Drunk , hiccuping ,
he dribbled streams of liquor and bits of men .
Now , by the gods , I drove my big hand spike
deep in the embers , charring it again ,
and cheered my men along with battle talk
to keep their courage up : no quitting now .
