The mules and the swift dogs, and then on man

He turned the deadly arrow. All around

Glared evermore the frequent funeral piles.—Bryant.

Meantime the immortal gods with Jupiter

Upon his golden pavement sat and held

A council. Hebe, honored of them all,

Ministered nectar, and from cups of gold

They pledged each other, looking down on Troy.

Bryant.
