The Iliad - Homer ยท 77 words
O king of nations. whose superior sway Returns Achilles all our hosts obey. To keep or send the presents, be thy care; To us, tis equal. all we ask is war. While yet we talk, or but an instant shun The fight, our glorious work remains undone. Let every Greek, who sees my spear confound The Trojan ranks, and deal destruction round, With emulation, what I act survey, And learn from thence the business of the day.
