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.
