Which stanza from homer's odyssey shows that telemachus is not yet ready to take the place of his father, ulysses?

stanza #1
"i too may try, and if this arm can wing
the feather’d arrow through the destined ring,
then if no happier night the conquest boast,
i shall not sorrow for a mother lost;
but, bless’d in her, possess those arms alone,
heir of my father’s strength, as well as throne."

stanza #2
he spoke; then rising, his broad sword unbound,
and cast his purple garment on the ground.
a trench he open'd: in a line he placed.
the level axes, and the points made fast
(his perfect skill the wondering gazers eyed,
the game as yet unseen, as yet untried).

stanza #3
then, with a manly pace, he took his stand:
and grasp'd the bow, and twang'd it in his hand.
three times, with beating heart, he made essay:
three times, unequal to the task, gave way;
a modest boldness on his cheek appear'd:
and thrice he hoped, and thrice again he fear'd.

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
