Thus much he spoke, and more he would have said;

But the stern hero turned aside his head,

And cut him short:—"I hear another man;

You talked not thus before the fight began.

Now take your turn; and, as a brother should,

Attend your brother to the Stygian flood."

Then through his breast his fatal sword he sent,

And the soul issued at the gaping vent.

As storms the skies, and torrents tear the ground,

Thus raged the prince, and scattered deaths around.
