Charles Duke Yonge translation

Homer, Od. xiii. I; translated by Pope—

"He ceased, but left, so pleasing on their ear, His voice, that listening still they seemed to hear."

And imitated by Milton, Paradise Lost, ix. 1—

"The angel ended, and in Adam's ear So pleasing left his voice that he awhile Thought him still speaking, still stood fixed to hear."
