_Odyssey_ it is Ulysses who lights upon her island: "And we came to the isle Ææan, where dwelt Circe of the braided tresses, an awful goddess of mortal speech, own sister to the wizard Æetes," _Odys._ x. ~from out~, etc. Comp. _Par. Lost_, v. 345. 'From out' has the same force as the more common 'out from.' 47. ~misusèd~, abused. The prefix _mis-_ was very generally used by Milton; _e.g._ _mislike_, _misdeem_, _miscreated_, _misthought_ (all obsolete). 48. ~After the Tuscan mariners transformed~, _i.e._ after the transformation of the Tuscan mariners (see Ovid, _Met._ iii.). They are called Tuscan, because Tyrrhenia in Central Italy was named Etruria or Tuscia by the Romans: Etruria includes modern Tuscany. This grammatical construction is common in Latin; a passive participle combined with a substantive answering to an English verbal or abstract noun connected with another noun by the preposition _of_, and used to denote a fact in the past; _e.g._ "since created man" (_P. L._ i. 573) = since the creation of man: "this loss recovered" (_P. L._ ii. 21) = the recovery of this loss. 49. ~as the winds listed~; at the pleasure of the winds: comp. _John_, iii. 8, "the wind bloweth where it _listeth_"; _Lyc._ 123. The verb _list_ is, in older English, generally used impersonally, and in Chaucer we find 'if thee lust' or 'if thee list' = if it please thee. The word survives in the adjective _listless_ of which the older form was _lustless_: the noun _lust_ has lost its original and wider sense (which it still has in German), and now signifies 'longing desire.' 50. ~On Circe's island fell~. Circe's island = Aeaea, off the coast of Latium. Circe was the daughter of Helios (the Sun) by the ocean-nymph Perse. On 'island,' see note, l. 21; and with this use of the verb _fall_ comp. the Latin _incidere in_. The sudden introduction of the interrogative clause in this line is an example of the figure of speech called anadiplosis. 51. ~charmèd cup~, _i.e._ liquor that has been _charmed_ or rendered magical. _Charms_ are incantations or magic verses (Lat. _carmina_): comp. lines 526 and 817. Grammatically, 'cup' is the object of 'tasted.'
