The Trojans, as they saw it borne away, Shouted behind them, rushing on like hounds That spring upon a wounded forest-boar Before the hunter-youths now pressing close Upon his flank, to tear him, then again, Whene’er he turns upon them in his strength, Retreating in dismay, and put to flight Hither and thither. Thus, in hot pursuit And close array, the Trojans following strook With swords and two-edged spears; but when the twain Turned and stood firm to meet them, every cheek Grew pale, and not a single Trojan dared Draw near the Greeks to combat for the corse.
