My shield of strong assurance. For the slain,

Here lieth he that wronged a much-wronged woman,

Sweet honey-lord of Trojan Chryseids.

And for this spear-won maid, this prophetess,

This wise diviner, well-beloved bed-fellow,

And trusty messmate of great Agamemnon,

She shares his fate, paying with him the fee

Of her own sin, and like a swan hath sung

Her mortal song beside him. She hath been

Rare seasoning added to my banquet rare.
