“The sea had soaked his heart through”

Homer's Odysses (1614), Book V, line 608; shipwrecked Odysseus washes up on Scheria.
Context: Then forth he came, his both knees falt'ring, both
His strong hands hanging down, and all with froth
His cheeks and nostrils flowing, voice and breath
Spent to all use, and down he sunk to death.
The sea had soaked his heart through; all his veins
His toils had rack'd t'a labouring woman's pains.
Dead weary was he.
