Latin? help?

On his voyage home from Troy, Odysseus (Ulixes) comes to the island of Circe

Ulixēs, dum ab urbe Troiā domum navigat, ad insulam venit 1

ignotam. Comites iubet in litore manēre, sed ipse collem

ascendit. Ubi ad summum collem advenit, fumum videt in

caelum surgentem. Ad navem redit et alios comitum iubet

prope navem manēre. Alios in insulam mittit: "in insulam 5

festinate", inquit. "Quis hīc habitat? Cognoscere cupio."

Illī in insulam festinant et tandem casam in silvā vident.

Ubi ad casam accedunt, multos lupos multosque leones prope

casam vident. Valde timent. Mox feminam audiunt canentem.

Ubi clamant, Circe ē ianuā casae exit eosque in casam vocat. 10

Unus solus extra manet, quod periculum timet; ceteros Circe

in casam ducit et "sedate", inquit, "et cenate."

Sed mala venena cibo miscet. Ubi cibum edunt, statim

sues fiunt. Deinde Circe eos in stabulum suum pellit iubetque

in terrā iacēre.
