Achilles for the archers brought forth steel, Tempered for arrow-heads⁠—ten axes, each With double edge, and single axes ten⁠— And from a galley’s azure prow took off A mast, and reared it on the sands afar, And, tying to its summit by the foot A timorous dove, he bade them aim at her: “Whoever strikes the bird shall bear away The double axes to his tent; while he Who hits the cord, but not the bird, shall take The single axes, as the humbler prize.”
