Which line in this excerpt from Homer's Odyssey best shows that Ulysses was a good ruler who always remembered his responsibility for his homeland, Ithaca?


In vain Calypso long constrained my stay,


With sweet, reluctant, amorous delay;


With all her charms as vainly Circe strove,


And added magic to secure my love.


In pomps or joys, the palace or the grot,


My country's image never was forgot;


My absent parents rose before my sight,


And distant lay contentment and delight.
