The Iliad - Homer ยท 78 words
I come, Pelides. from the queen of Jove, The immortal empress of the realms above; Unknown to him who sits remote on high, Unknown to all the synod of the sky. Thou comest in vain he cries, with fury warmd; Arms I have none, and can I fight unarmd. Unwilling as I am, of force I stay, Till Thetis bring me at the dawn of day Vulcanian arms. what other can I wield, Except the mighty Telamonian shield.
