I might have promised to myself those harms,

Mad as I was, when I, with mortal arms,

Presumed against immortal powers to move,

And violate with wounds the queen of love.

Such arms this hand shall never more employ.

No hate remains with me to ruined Troy.

I war not with its dust; nor am I glad

To think of past events, or good or bad.

Your presents I return: whate'er you bring

To buy my friendship, send the Trojan king.
