Answer:

<em>"Long since he menaced, such was Fate's command;</em>

<em>And named Ulysses as the destined hand.</em>

<em>I deem'd some godlike giant to behold,</em>

<em>Or lofty hero, haughty, brave, and bold;</em>

<em>Not this weak pigmy wretch, of mean design,</em>

<em>Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine."</em>

In these lines, the Cyclops states that Fate had long commanded Ulysses to be the hand destined to defeat him. However, he was expecting this hero to be some enormous giant, or a brave and bold hero. Instead, he is disappointed to learn that Ulysses is a tiny being who defeated him not through strength, but by wit.
