So clearly tell I Agamemnon's queen,

With all speed rising from her couch to raise

Shrill cry of triumph o'er this beacon-fire

Throughout the house, since Ilion's citadel

Is taken, as full well that bright blaze shows.

I, for my part, will dance my prelude now;

[Leaps and dances

For I shall score my lord's new turn of luck,

This beacon-blaze may throw of triple six.[[271]]
