“Ah me! The gods have summoned me to die. I thought my warrior-friend, Deïphobus, Was by my side; but he is still in Troy, And Pallas has deceived me. Now my death Cannot be far⁠—is near; there is no hope Of my escape, for so it pleases Jove And Jove’s great archer-son, who have till now Delivered me. My hour at last is come; Yet not ingloriously or passively I die, but first will do some valiant deed, Of which mankind shall hear in after time.”
