Did Agamemnon, when he rushed to war,

And sought the dreadful fields of Ilium—

Did he pack up, or trust the thing to slaves,

Saying, "Put in my six best pairs of greaves,

Four regal mantles, sandals for the shore,

And fourteen glittering helmets with their plumes,

And ten strong breastplates and a sheaf of swords,

And crowns and robes and tunics, and of spears

A goodly number, such as may beseem

The office and the valour of a King.
