You are the hatefullest to me of the Zeus-fed princes,

Lover for evermore of brawl and battle and discord.

Strong if you are, your strength was by some deity given.

Home with your hollow ships, and with your people returning

Order the Myrmidonans: expect not me to regard you,

Or to observe your wrath. I advertise you beforehand—

As Chryseïda Phœbus Apollo hath bid me surrender,

I in a ship of my own will with my people remit her

Home, and the beautiful-cheeked Briseïda then to replace her

Out of your tent, your prize, will carry; an argument to you
