Then from their limbs the bristles fell away which the hateful drug that circe gave them had before made to grow, and they became men again, younger than they were before, and far handsomer and taller to look upon. Loeb

Their limbs began to shed the bristles that Circe’s poison had planted on them, and they became men again, but younger than they had been, and taller and handsome to the eye. Walter Shewring, prose translation.

And lo, from their limbs the bristles dropped away, wherewith the venom had erewhile clothed them, that lady Circe gave them. And they became men again, younger than before they were, and goodlier far, and taller to behold.

She stroked them, each in turn, with some new chrism;

and then, behold! Their bristles fell away,

the coarse pelt grown upon them by her drug

melted away, and they were men again,

younger, more handsome, taller than before. Robert Fitzgerald

Baboom! those piggy cheeks were gone

Baboom! those piggy noses were gone

They were men again – beautiful, younger, taller

But sad because they really loved being little piggys Sebastian Lockwood

He who gets rid of the pain of being a man makes a beast of himself.
