Shriekingly wail the death-doom of their dearest:

While these—the after-battle hungry labor,

Which prompts night-faring, marshals them to breakfast

On the town's store, according to no billet

Of sharing, but as each drew lot of fortune.

In the spear-captured Troic habitations

House they already: from the frosts upæthral

And dews delivered, will they, luckless creatures,

Without a watch to keep, slumber all night through.

And if they fear the gods, the city-guarders,
