Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UV W| So Hector spake and Trojans roar'd applause | A |
| Then loosed their sweating horses from the yoke | B |
| And each beside his chariot bound his own | C |
| And oxen from the city and goodly sheep | D |
| In haste they drove and honey hearted wine | E |
| And bread from out the houses brought and heap'd | F |
| Their firewood and the winds from off the plain | G |
| Roll'd the rich vapor far into the heaven | H |
| And these all night upon the bridge of war | I |
| Sat glorying many a fire before them blazed | J |

| Break open to their highest and all the stars | O |
| Shine and the Shepherd gladdens in his heart | P |
| So many a fire between the ships and stream | Q |
| Of Xanthus blazed before the towers of Troy | R |
| A thousand on the plain and close by each | S |
| Sat fifty in the blaze of burning fire | T |
| And eating hoary grain and pulse the steeds | U |
| Fixt by their cars waited the golden dawn | V |
