Default attention classical scholars

I saw this passage quoted without translation -- Book 1, line 160, in the Odyssey:

ῥεῖ᾽, ἐπεὶ ἀλλότριον βίοτον νήποινον ἔδουσιν,
ἀνέρος, οὗ δή που λεύκ᾽ ὀστέα πύθεται ὄμβρῳ
κείμεν᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἠπείρου, ἢ εἰν ἁλὶ κῦμα κυλίνδει.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks.
