I cannot but acquaint thee with my fear,

Be not too brave,—Remember,—Have a care,

100And all my dreads will vanish into air.

Among the Grecians some one must be found

That first shall set his foot on Trojan ground;

Unhappy she that shall his loss bewail,

Grant, O ye Gods, thy courage then may fail.

Of all the ships be thine the very last,

Thou the last man that lands; there needs no haste

To meet a potent and a treacherous foe;
