Sent blushing to the field the fatal knight. Mine then are all his actions of the war; Great Telephus was conquer’d by my spear, And after cured: to me the Theban’s owe, Lesbos, and Tenedos, their overthrow; Scyros and Cylla: not on all to dwell, By me Lyrnessus and strong Chrysa fell: And since I sent the man who Hector slew, To me the noble Hector’s death is due: Those arms I put into his living hand, Those arms, Pelides dead, I now demand.
