The Iliad - Homer ยท 64 words
Then Hector, fainting at the approach of death. By thy own soul. by those who gave thee breath. By all the sacred prevalence of prayer; Ah, leave me not for Grecian dogs to tear. The common rites of sepulture bestow, To soothe a fathers and a mothers woe. Let their large gifts procure an urn at least, And Hectors ashes in his country rest.
