He spake; Aeneas, looking at him, knew The archer-god, and with a mighty voice Called out to Hector: “Hector! Thou and all Who lead the troops of Troy, and our allies, Great shame it were if we were put to rout Before the warlike Greeks, and beaten back To Troy like cowards. Standing by my side, One of the gods already hath declared That Jupiter, All-wise, is our ally In battle. Let us therefore boldly fall Upon the Greeks, nor suffer them to bear Patroclus unmolested to their fleet.”
