There's another vagabond called Iros, he's a fool
He insults Odysseus and asks to fight a duel
All the suitors watch, Antinous says the winner
gets to stay inside with them and partake of their dinner
Iros is knocked to the floor, much to his surprise
Underneath his rags Odysseus has mighty thighs!
Penelope tells the haughty suitors that they ought
To give lots of presents to the woman they would court.
She gets some new earrings, a gold necklace and a dress
From her many suitors who are hoping to impress.
Odysseus argues with the handmaid Melantho
And annoys Eurymachos, who gets a stool to throw
He misses Odysseus but before they fight
Telemachus tells the suitors to go home tonight.
