Priam's castle walls had sunk	A
Troy in dust and ashes lay	B
And each Greek with triumph drunk	A
Richly laden with his prey	B
Sat upon his ship's high prow	C
On the Hellespontic strand	D
Starting on his journey now	C
Bound for Greece his own fair land	D
Raise the glad exulting shout	E
Toward the land that gave them birth	F
Turn they now the ships about	E
As they seek their native earth	F
	-
And in rows all mournfully	B
Sat the Trojan women there	G
Beat their breasts in agony	H
Pallid with dishevelled hair	G
In the feast of joy so glad	I
Mingled they the song of woe	J
Weeping o'er their fortunes sad	I
In their country's overthrow	J
Land beloved oh fare thee well	B
By our foreign masters led	K
Far from home we're doomed to dwell	B
Ah how happy are the dead	K
	-
Soon the blood by Calchas spilt	L
On the altar heavenward smokes	M
Pallas by whom towns are built	L
And destroyed the priest invokes	M
Neptune too who all the earth	F
With his billowy girdle laves	M
Zeus who gives to terror birth	F
Who the dreaded Aegis waves	M
Now the weary fight is done	N
Ne'er again to be renewed	O
Time's wide circuit now is run	N
And the mighty town subdued	O
	-
Atreus' son the army's head	K
Told the people's numbers o'er	P
Whom he as their captain led	K
To Scamander's vale of yore	Q
Sorrow's black and heavy clouds	M
Passed across the monarch's brow	C
Of those vast and valiant crowds	M
Oh how few were left him now	C
Joyful songs let each one raise	M
Who will see his home again	R
In whose veins the life blood plays	M
For alas not all remain	S
	-
All who homeward wend their way	B
Will not there find peace of mind	T
On their household altars they	B
Murder foul perchance may find	T
Many fall by false friend's stroke	U
Who in fight immortal proved	V
So Ulysses warning spoke	U
By Athene's spirit moved	V
Happy he whose faithful spouse	M
Guards his home with honor true	W
Woman ofttimes breaks her vows	M
Ever loves she what is new	W
	-
And Atrides glories there	G
In the prize he won in fight	X
And around her body fair	G
Twines his arms with fond delight	X
Evil works must punished be	H
Vengeance follows after crime	Y
For Kronion's just decree	H
Rules the heavenly courts sublime	Y
Evil must in evil end	Z
Zeus will on the impious band	D
Woe for broken guest rights send	Z
Weighing with impartial hand	D
	-
It may well the glad befit	A2
Cried Olleus' valiant son	N
To extol the Gods who sit	A2
On Olympus' lofty throne	B2
Fortune all her gifts supplies	M
Blindly and no justice knows	M
For Patroclus buried lies	M
And Thersites homeward goes	M
Since she blindly throws away	B
Each lot in her wheel contained	C2
Let him shout with joy to day	B
Who the prize of life has gained	C2
	-
Ay the wars the best devour	P
Brother we will think of thee	H
In the fight a very tower	P
When we join in revelry	H
When the Grecian ships were fired	D2
By thine arm was safety brought	E2
Yet the man by craft inspired	D2
Won the spoils thy valor sought	E2
Peace be to thine ashes blest	F2
Thou wert vanquished not in fight	X
Anger 'tis destroys the best	F2
Ajax fell by Ajax' might	X
	-
Neoptolemus poured then	R
To his sire renowned the wine	G2
'Mongst the lots of earthly men	R
Mighty father prize I thine	G2
Of the goods that life supplies	M
Greatest far of all is fame	H2
Though to dust the body flies	M
Yet still lives a noble name	H2
Valiant one thy glory's ray	B
Will immortal be in song	I2
For though life may pass away	B
To all time the dead belong	I2
	-
Since the voice of minstrelsy	M
Speaks not of the vanquished man	J2
I will Hector's witness be	H
Tydeus' noble son began	J2
Fighting bravely in defence	M
Of his household gods he fell	B
Great the victor's glory thence	M
He in purpose did excel	B
Battling for his altars dear	K2
Sank that rock no more to rise	M
E'en the foemen will revere	K2
One whose honored name ne'er dies	M
	-
Nestor joyous reveller old	L2
Who three generations saw	M
Now the leaf crowned cup of gold	L2
Gave to weeping Hecuba	M2
Drain the goblet's draught so cool	B
And forget each painful smart	N2
Bacchus' gifts are wonderful	B
Balsam for a broken heart	N2
Drain the goblet's draught so cool	B
And forget each painful smart	N2
Bacchus' gifts are wonderful	B
Balsam for a broken heart	N2
	-
E'en to Niobe whom Heaven	N
Loved in wrath to persecute	O2
Respite from her pangs was given	N
Tasting of the corn's ripe fruit	O2
Whilst the thirsty lip we lave	P2
In the foaming living spring	Q2
Buried deep in Lethe's wave	P2
Lies all grief all sorrowing	Q2
Whilst the thirsty lip we lave	P2
In the foaming living spring	Q2
Swallowed up in Lethe's wave	P2
Is all grief all sorrowing	Q2
	-
And the Prophetess inspired	D2
By her God upstarted now	C
Toward the smoke of homesteads fired	D2
Looking from the lofty prow	C
Smoke is each thing here below	J
Every worldly greatness dies	M
As the vapory columns go	J
None are fixed but Deities	M
Cares behind the horseman sit	A2
Round about the vessel play	B
Lest the morrow hinder it	A2
Let us therefore live to day	B
