Each fall whereby the sons of Argos fell,

The flingers by cross-buttock, each his man

By feats of wrestling: all that boxers e'er,

Grim in their gauntlets, have devised, or they

Who wage mixed warfare and, adepts in art,

Upon the foe fall headlong: all such lore

Phocian Harpalicus gave him, Hermes' son:

Whom no man might behold while yet far off

And wait his armed onset undismayed:

A brow so truculent roofed so stern a face.
