He with the suitors bounden to befriend
Wronged Menelaus, against Ilion sailed,
And joined his arms, pledged by that oath with them;
Till Priam’s broad-wayed city in the end
Fell by his stratagem. 989
But long being not returned, and passed for dead,
There gathered suitors in his house to woo
His fair wife in his stead;
And strife among them grew.
Nor is his arm more lacked to guard his walls,
