From thy translucent waves great Thetis rise	A
Mother divine hear and take back the gift	B
Thou gavest me of valor and renown	C
And then seek Zeus but not with loosened zone	D
For dalliance entreat him to restore	E
Me Achilles to the earth to the black earth	F
The nourisher of men not these pale shades	G
Whose shapes have learned the presage of thy doom	H
They flit between me and the wind swept plain	I
Of Troy the banners over Ilion's walls	J
The zenith of my prowess and my fate	K
Give me again the breath of life not death	L
Would I could tarry in the timbered tent	M
As when I wept Patroclus when by night	N
Old Priam crept kissing my knees with tears	O
For Hector's corse the hero I laid low	P
My panoply was like the gleam of fire	Q
When in the dust I dragged him at my wheels	R
My heart was iron he despoiled my friend	S
Cast on these borders of eternal gloom	H
Now comes Odysseus with his wandering crew	T
He pours libations in the deep dug trench	U
While airy forms in multitudes press near	V
And listen to the echoes of my praise	W
His consolation vain he hails me Prince	X
Vain is his speech No man before thy time	Y
Achilles lived more honored here thou art	Z
Supreme the ruler in these dread abodes	X
Speak not so easily to me of death	L
Great Odysseus Rather would I be	A2
The meanest hind and bring the bleating lambs	X
From down the grassy hills or with a goad	B2
To prod the hungry swine in beechen woods	X
Than over the departed to bear sway	C2
Then from the clouds to note the warning cry	D2
Of the harsh crane to see the Pleiads rise	X
The vine and fig tree shoot the olive bud	E2
To hear the chirping swallows in the dawn	F2
The thieving cuckoo laughing in the leaves	X
So may Achilles pass his palace gate	K
And later heroes strike Achilles' lyre	G2
