Who worked my safe return, and nerved my arm

With vengeance against Priam! for the gods,

Taught by no glozing tongue, but by the sight

Of their own eyes knew justice; voting ruin

And men-destroying death to ancient Troy,

Their fatal pebbles in the bloody urn

Not doubtingly they dropt; the other vase,

Unfed with hope of suffrage-bearing hand,

Stood empty. Now the captured city’s smoke

Points where it fell. Raves Ruin’s storm; the winds
