To shame that brand indelible hath set

Upon the board where host and guest were met.

Strophe II

And leaving to her countrymen to bear

Wild whirl of ships of war and shield and spear,

And bringing as her dower,

Death's doom to Ilion's tower,

She hath passed quickly through the palace gate,

Daring what none should dare;

And lo! the minstrel seers bewail the fate
