“Trojans and Lycians all, and ye who close In deadly fight, the sons of Dardanus! Acquit yourselves like men, my friends; recall Your fiery valor now, for I perceive The son of Saturn doth award to me Victory and vast renown, and to the Greeks Destruction. Fools! who built this slender wall Which we contemn, which cannot stand before The strength I bring; our steeds can overleap The trench they digged. When I shall reach their fleet, Remember the consuming power of fire, That I may give their vessels to the flames, And hew the Achaians down beside their prows, While they are wrapped in the bewildering smoke.”
