10 - How Paris was stricken to death, and in vain sought help of Oenone - The Fall of Troy · The Fall of Troy

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now were the Trojans without the wall of Priam, armor,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: clad with battle cars and chariot steeds. For still they
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: burnt their dead, and still they feared lest the Achaean
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: men should fall on them. They looked and saw them
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: come with furious speed against the walls. In haste they
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: cast a hurried earth bound o'er the slain. For greatly
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: tremble they to see their foes. Then, in their sore disquiet,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: speak to them, polygamis a wise and prudent chief. Friends,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: unendurably against us now maddens the war God too. Let
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: us devise how we may find deliverance from our street.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Still by the Danians here still gather strength. Now therefore,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: let us man our stately towers, and thencewithstand them, fighting
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: night and day until yon Danians weary and return to Sparta,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: or renownless lingering here beside the wall lose heart. No
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: strength of her shall breach the long walls, how sowe'er
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: they strive. For in the imperishable work of God's weakness
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is none food drink we shall not lack. For in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Priam's gold abalding halls is stored abundant food that shall
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: suffice for many more than we through many years, though
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: thrice so great a host than our desire should gather
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: eager to maintain our cause, then chode with him Antises's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: valiant son Polytamus. Wherefore do they call thee wise who piteous, soft,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: endless tribulations cooped within walls. Never, howe'er so long the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Achaeans tarry here will they lose heart. But when they
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: see our sulking from the field more fiercely will press
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: on sore shall be the sufferance perishing in our native
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: home if for long season they belieger us no food.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: If we be pent within our walls, shall thebe send us?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Nor may I only a wine? But wretchedly by famine
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: shall we die though the great wall stand firm. Nay,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: though a lot should be to scape that evil death
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and doom, and not by famine miserably to die. Yet
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: rather let us fight in armor, clad for children and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: brave fathers. Haply Zeus will help us. Yet of his
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: high blood are we Nay, even though we be abord
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of him. Paris straightway to perish gloriously, fighting unto the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: last for fatherland than to die a death of lingering agony.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Shout they all who heard that gallant reed swiftly with
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: helms and shields and spears. They stood in closerway. The
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: eyes of mighty Zeus from heaven beheld the Trojan's arm
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: for fight against the Dandians. Then did he awake courage
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in these and those that there might be strain of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: unflinching fight TwixT host and host. That day was Paris
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: doomed for Helen's sake, fighting by Philip tied his hands
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to die in one place. Strife incarnate drew them all
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the fearful battle. Queen beheld of Nune, but coaked in clouds, blood,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: raining harns, she stalked, swelling the mighty roar of battle
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: now rushed through Troy squadrons through a chaos. Now panic
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and fear still waited on her steps to make their
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: father's sister glorious. From small to youhthes that fury stature grew.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Her arms of adamant were blood besprent. The deadly lunch
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: She bradness reached the sky. Earth quake beneath her feet,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: tread blasted the fire flame from her mouth. Her voice
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: pealed thunder like kindling, strong, men swift close in front
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of fight, drawn by a tread power to the mighty work.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Loud does the shreak of winds that madly blow in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: early spring, when the tall woodland trees put forth their leaves,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Loud as the roar of fire blazing through the sun's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: scorts breaks. Loud is the voice of many waters, when
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the wide sea ra beneath the howling plast with thunderous
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: crash of waves. When shake the fearful shipman's knees so
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: thundered earth beneath the charging feet, Strife swooped on them.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Foe hurled himself on Foe first, then Eneus of the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Danius Slehapalion Razellus Chion born in for Poethia of Athomenoi,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: who came to Troy to help the argive men, with
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: god like prothonia neath his waist. And he has stabbed
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: him and rest sweet life from him. Dead upon him,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: he cast for Sanders son for the barb javelin pierced
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: through highless throat, Humathius, pile of Faius pear and creek
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: sore greathed indominious for his fall. By this pried the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: son had swiftly slain twelve Trojan warriors with his father's spear.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Percebras fell harmon Pactheus, then Hysminius Cennus and Impraseus vegas
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Manessus Hinomus and philous Facus calmed Us last, who had
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: his home by Gargeus Steep. A mighty warrior, he among
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Troy's mightiest, with a countless host to Troy. He came
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: for Priam dardnest Son, promised him many gifts and passing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: fare ah fool his own doom. He never foresaw whose
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: weird was suddenly to fall in fight. Ere he bore
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: home King Priam's glorious gifts doom the destroyer against the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: ark I've sped. Valiantaneus friend Eurymenes pild courage spurred him
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on that he might slay many, and then filled Death's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: cup for himself. And after man he slew like some
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: fierce beast, and foals shrank from the terrible raids that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: burned on his life's verge. Therect of imminent doom yea
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: peerless deeds in that fight had he done, had not
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: his hands grown weary, his spear head bent utterly, his
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: sword have hailed him not snapped at the hilt by feet.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Then me dart smote neath his ribs, blood spurted from
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: his mouth, and in death's agony, Doom stood at his
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: side even as he fell a paeous Henchmen Twain, Tileon
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and Ampheon rushed to strip his armor. But Hernias, brave
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and strong, chill their hot hearts in death beside the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: dead as one in latter summer mid his vines kills
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: wasp that dart about his whitening grapes, And so ere
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they may taste the fruit they die, so smokee them
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: ere they could seize the arms. Menon and Ampheus Tidius
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: slew both goodly men. Paris slew Herpassus son Demoleon, who
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in leycheas Land, beside the altfahl of your oath has
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: dwelt the stream deep flowing, and to Troy came with
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Menelaus under his right breast. The shaft of Paris smote
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: him onto death, driving his soul forth like a scattering breath.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Terser slew Secus, Medon's wore famed son who dwelt in
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Phrygia land, myriad flocks below that haunted cave of fair
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: haired nymphs. Where as entinyon slept beside his kind, divine
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Selina watched him from on high, and slid from heaven
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to earth. For passionate love drew down the immortal, stainless
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Queen of Night, and a memorial of her couch abide
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: still neath the oaks. For mid the copses round was
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: poured out milk of kine. And still do men, marveling
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: behold its whiteness. Thou wouldst safe far off that this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was milk, indeed, which is a well spring of white water.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: If thou draw a little nigher lo the stream is fringed,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: as though with ice, for white stone rims it round
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: rushed on al Casseus Megas thylya sun and drave his spear.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Beneath his fluttering heart loosed were the chords of sweet
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: life suddenly, and his sad parents longed in vain to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: greet that sudden. Returning from the woeful war to Margasus
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and Phylas, lovely gert twellers by loosened streams of Hypatus,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: who pours the full blood of his clamorous flow into
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Meander badly rushing eye with Glaucus warrior comrades Gallachias only
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a sudden closed in the fight and stabbed over the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: shield rim and the cruel spear passed through his shoulder
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and drenched his shield with blood. Howbeit he slew him not,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: whose day of doom awaited him far beside the wall
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of his own city. For when Ilium's towers were brought
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: low by that swift avenging host fleeing the war to Lechia,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: then he came alone. And when he drew nigh to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the town, the thronging women met and questioned him, touching
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: their sons and husbands, and he told how all were dead.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: They compassed him about and stole the man with great
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: stones that he died, So he had no joy of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: his winning home. But the stones muffled up his dying groans,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and of the same his ghastly tomb was reared beside
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Pellorophov's grave and holy place, and Pallos nigh that far
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: famed matter's crag. Yet though he thus fulfilled his day
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of doom as a god, afterward men worshiped him by
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Phoebus hest and never his honor fades. Now Poius on
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: for while sued the Ionas and the Maccus, and Tinor's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: warrior son, Hey a great host of strong men he
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: laid low on like the war god. Through his foes
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: he rushed, Or as a river roaring in full flood,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: breaks down long tights, when maddening round its rocks pound
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: from the mountains, swelled by rain, It oars, and ever
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: flowing mighty rushing stream, whose foaming crest over its foreland
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: sweep so none who saw him, even from a far
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: dared meet, renowned poeas valiant son, whose breast with battle
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: fury was filled, whose limbs were clad in mighty hercules,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: arms of cunning workmanship. Four on the belt creamed Pear's
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: most grim and savage jackals fell and panthers, in whose
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: eyes seemed to lurk a deadly smile. There were fierce
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: hearted wolves and poores with flashing tusks, and mighty lions,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: all seeming strangely alive. And there portrayed all through its
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: breath were battles murder rife. With all these martls covered
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: was the belt, and with yet more the quiver was adorned.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: There Hermes was storm footed, son of Zeus, saying huge
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Argus nigh to anacus streams Argus whose sentinel eyes in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: turn took sleep, And there was Phaeathon. From the sun
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: car hurled into Aredanus, Earth verily seen the blaze and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: black smoke hovered on the air. There Perseus Slumadusa, corgan
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: eyed by the stars, paths and utmost bounds of earth,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and fountains of deep flowing ocean. Where night in the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: far west meets the setting sun. There was the Titan
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Patters great sun hung from the beetling crack of Caucasus
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: in bonds of adamant, and the eagle tear his liver unconsumed,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: he seemed to groan. All these of Festus cunning hands
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: had wrought for Hercules, and these to Pooyas son, most
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: near of friends, and dear he gave to bear, so
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: glorying in those arms he smote the foe. But Paris,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: at the last to meet him, sprang fearlessly, bearing in
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: his hands the bow and deadly arrows. But his latest
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: day now met himself a flying shaft. He sped forth
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: from the string which sang as leapt the dodge, which
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: flew not vainly yet the very market missed, for Philoptitus
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: swerved aside a hair breath, and it smote above the breast.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Cleodorus wore renowned and cleft a path clear through his shoulder,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: for he had not now the buckler broad which water
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: finch from death its bearer, but was falling back from fight,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: being shieldless. For Polydamus's massy lance had cleft the shoulder
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: belt whereby his targe hung, and he gave back therefore
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: fighting still with stubborn spear. But now the arrow of
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: death fell on him, as from ambush sleeping forth. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: fate will thy trow to bring dread doom our noble
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: hearted learness. Skyon born of amphi Ali enrolls the fertile land.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But soon as Peowi asked, Padaliger's son marked him by
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: paris deadly arrow sladen. Swiftly he strained his bow, shouting aloud,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: dog I will give thee death, will speed thee down
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to the unseen land. Who terest to brave me? And
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: so shall they have rest who traveil thou for thy
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: vile sake, destruction shall have end when thou art dead,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the authurn of our pain. Then to his breast he
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: drew the pleated cord. The great bow arched the merciless shaft,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: was aimed straight, and the terrible point a little peered
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: above the bowl. In that constraining grip, clouds sang the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: string as the death hissing shaft leapt and missed. Not
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: yet was Paris's heart not stilled. But his spirit yet
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was strong within him, for that first arrow was not
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: winged with death. It did but graze the fair flesh
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: by his wrist. Then once again the avenger drew the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: bow and the barb shaft. The Peolia sun had plunged.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: There he could swerve, ticks, flank and groin. No more
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: he abode the fight, but swiftly hasted back, as haste
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a dog which on a lion rushed at first, then
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: flith terror stricken back. So he his very heart, with agony, thrilled,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: fled from the war, still clashed, the grappling host man
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: slaying man I bludlier waxed the fray as rained the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: blows courts on corpse was flung confusedly like thunder drops
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: or flakes of snow, or helstones. By wintery blast that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Zeus be has strewn over the law hills and forest POWs.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: So by a pitiless doom slain friends and foes in heaps.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: On heaps were strown sorely grown. Paris, with torturing wound, fainted.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: His spirit leeches sought to allay his frenzy of pain,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: but now drew back to Troy, the Trojans and the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Dadians to their ships. Swiftly return'd for dark night put
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: an end to strife, and stole from men's limbs, weariness
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: pouring upon their eyes, pain healing sleep. But through the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: livelong night, no sleep laid hold of Paris for his help,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: no leech of hell, though ne'er so willing by his souls,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: his weird was only by o Enoe's hands to escape
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: death doom, if so she will'd. Now he obeyed the prophecy,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and he went exceeding loath, But grim necessity forced him
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: thence to face the wife forsaken evil, boding, foul shrieked
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: o'er his head or darted past to left. Still as
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: he went. Now, as he looked at them, his heart sank,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: But hope whispered, haply vain their bodings are, but all
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: their wings were borne visions of doom that blended with
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: his pain into our Ennerby's presence. Thus he came amazed.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Her thronging handmaids looked on him as at the nymph's feet.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: That pell suppliant fell faint with the anguish of his wound,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: whose pang stabbed him through brain and heart. Yea quivered
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: through his very bones, for that fierce venom crawled through
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: all his innerds with corrupting fangs, and his life fainted
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: in him. Agony, thrilled as one with sickness and tormenting
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: thirst consumed life, parched with heart, quick shuddering, with liver
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: seething in flame, the soul scarce, conscious, fluttering at his
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: burning lips, longing for life, for what a longing sore,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So was his breast one fire of torturing pain. Then,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: in exceeding feet wellness, he speak, Oh, reverend's wife, turn
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: not from me in heat, for that I left thee
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: widowed long ago. Not of my will I did it,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: but strong fates dragged me to Helen. Oh that I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: had died ere I embraced her, and thine arms had
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: tied Ah. By the gods, I pray the lords of Heaven,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: by all the memories of our wedded love, be merciful,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: banish my bitter pain. Lay on my deadly wound, those
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: healing salves which only hen by Fate's decree, remove this torment.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: If thou wilt, thine heart must speak my sentence to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: be saved from death, or no pity me. Oh, make
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: haste to pity me. This Venom's mighty is swiftly bringing death.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Heal me, while life yet lingers in my limbs. Remember
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: not those pangs of jealousy, Nor leave me to a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: cruel doom to die, lo fallen at thy feet. This
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: should offend the prayers for daughters of a thunderer Zeus,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: whose anger followeth unrelenting pride with pngeance, and the Horrennas executes.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Thou hath, my queen, I sinned in folly, sin get
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: from death. Save me, Oh, make haste to save so
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: prayed he, But her darkly boding heart was steel, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: her words mocked his agony. Thou comest unto me, Thou
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: who didst leave thy while a wailing wife and a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: desolate home, didst leave her for thy ten darned darling
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: go lie laughing in her arms for bliss. She is
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: better than thy true wife, His rumor saith immortal, make
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: haste to kneel to her, but not to me, quep,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: not to me, no whimper pitiful, Oh that mine heart
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: beat with a tigris's strength, that I might tear thy
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: flesh and lap thy blood for all the pain thy
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: folly brought on me, vile wretch. Where now is Love's
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: queen glory crowned, hath Zeus for gotten his daughter's paramour.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Have them for thy deliverers, get thee. Hence far from
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: my dwelling curse of gods and men, yea, For through
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: thee thou miscreant sorrow came on deathless gods, for sons
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and sons, sons slain. Hence from my threshold, do thy
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: helen go agonized day and night beside her a bed
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: there winter pierced through the heart with cruel pangs, until
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: she heal thee of thy grievous pain. So from her
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: doors she drave that groaning man ah fool, not knowing
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: her own doom, whose weird was straightway after him to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: tread the path of death. So fate had spun her
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: destiny thread. Then, as he stumbled down through Ida's brakes,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: where doom on his death path was leading him painfully halting,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: racked with heart, sick pain, hera beheld him with rejoicing soul.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Throned in the Olympian palace court of Zeus, and seated
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: at her side were handmaidens, four whom radiant faces, so
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Lena bear to the sun to be unwearying ministers in heaven,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: inform and office, diverse each from each. For of the seasons,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: one was Summer's queen, and one of winter and his
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: stormy star of spring, the third of autumn tide, the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: fourth so and four portions parted his man ear ruled
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: by these queens in turn. But of all this be
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Zeus himself, the overseer in heaven. And of those issues
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: now thee spake with her, which bealeful fate. In her
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: all ruining heart was shaping to the birth the new
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: espousals of helen fatal to the Ephabus, the wrath of Helenus,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: who hoped in vain for that fair bride. And how
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: when he had fled wroth with the Trojans to the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: mountain height, Achaea's sons would seize him and would hell
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: unto their ships. How by his counseling, strong tidiest son
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: should with Odysseus scale the great wall, and should slay
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: how Calthalust the temple warder, and should beare away Pallas
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the Gracious, with her free consent, whose image was the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: sure defense of Troy yea, for not even a god,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: how wroth so'er had power to lay the city of
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: pri and waste while that immortal shape stood water there
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: No man had carven that celestial form, but Kronauson himself
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: had cast it down from heaven to Priam's gold abounding burgh.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Of these things. With her handmaidens did the Queen of
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Heaven hold converse, and of many such. But Paris, while
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: they talked, gave up the ghost on Ida. Never Helen
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: saw him more blowed well the nymphs around him, for
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: they still remembered how their nursling wont to lisp his
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: childish prattle compast with their smiles, and with them warned
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the neat herd's light a foot sorrowful hearted moan the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: mountain gleans. Then unto travail, burdened Prim's queen, a herdsman,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: told the treade doom of her son wildly. Her trembling
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: heart leapt when she heard, with failing limbs. She sank
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to earth and wailed, dead, Thou dead, O, dear child,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: grief heaped on grief. Thou hast bequeathed me grief eternal,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: best of all my sons, say Hector alone, wst thou,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: while beats my heart, My grief shall weep for thee.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: The hand of Heaven is in our sufferings. Some fate
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: devised our ruin. Oh that I had lived not to
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: endure it, but had died in wealthy days of peace.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: But now I see woes upon woes, and ever looked
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to see worse things. My children slain, my city sack
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and burned with fire by stony hearted foes, daughters, sons, wives,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: all Trojan women held into captivity with our little ones.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: So well she but the king heard not thereof, but
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: weeping ever set by Hector's grave, for most of all
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: his sons. He honored him, his mightiest, but defender of
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: his land. Nothing of Paris knew that pierced heart, but
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: long and loud lamented Helen, and those wells were but
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: for trojan years. Her soul, with other thoughts, was busy
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: as she cried husband, to me, to try, and to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: thyself a bitter blow. Is this thy woeful death? In misery?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Hast thou left me? And I look to seek calamities
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: more deadly. Yet, oh, that the spirits of storm had
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: snatched me from the earth when first I fared with
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: thee drawn by belleful fate, It might not be. The
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: gods have met in ruined to thee and me with
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: shuddering horror. All men look on me, all hate me.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Place of refuges are none for me. For if to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the daddy and host, I fly with torments while they
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: greet me. If I stay, Troy's daughters and sons will
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: here compass me and rend me. Earth shall not cover
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: my corpse, but dogs and foul of ravens shall live. Power. Oh,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: had fate slain me ere I saw these woes, so
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: cried she, But for him far lest she mournventful herself,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: remembering her own sin yeay, and Troy's daughters. But in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: semblance well for him of other woes. Their hearts were full,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: some thought on parents, some on husband's slain, these on sons,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: on honored kinsmen. Thows only one heart was pierced with grief,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: unfeigned o enoe, not with them of Troy, she well,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: but far away within that desolate home, moaning, she lay
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: on her lost husband's bed, as when the coapses on
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: high mountains stand white veiled with frozen snow, which o'er
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the glens the west wind blast have strown. But now
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the sun in east wind melted fast, and the long
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: heights with watercourses stream and down the glades slide as
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: they thaw, the heavy sheets to swell the rushing waters
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: of an ice cold spring. So melted she in tears
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of anguish pain and for her own husband agon eyes
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and cried to her heart with miserable moans. Oh for
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: my wickedness, oh hateful life. I loved my hapless husband,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: dreamed with him to pace tor held bright threshold, hand
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: in hand, hard in heart. The gods ordained not so, Oh,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and the black fates snatched me from the earth, ere
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I from Paris, turned away in hate. My living love
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: hath left me. Yet will I dare to die with him?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: For I loathe the light, so cried she, weeping, weeping
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: piteously remembering him whom death had swallowed up, wasting as
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: melteth wax before the flame, Yet secretly being fearful lest
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: her sire should mark it or her handmaidens till the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: night rose from broad ocean, flooding all the earth with darkness,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: bringing men release from toil. Then, while her father and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: maidens slept slid, she the bolt's back of the outer
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: doors and rushed forth like a storm, blast fast. She ran,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: as when a heifer mid the mountain speeds her heart
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: with passion, stung to meet her mate, and madly races
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: with flying feet, and fears not in her frenzy of
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: desire the herdsman, as her wild rush bears her on,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: So she but find her made amid the woods. So
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: down the long tracks flew o enemy's feet, seeking the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: awful pyre to leap thereon. No weariness she knew, as
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: upon wings her feet flew faster ever onward, Spurred by
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: fell fate and the Syperian Queen, she feared no shaggy
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: beast that met her in the dark glast had feared
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: them sorely, rugged rock and precipice of tangled mountain slope,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: she trod them all on stumbling torrent bed she leapt.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: The white moon goddess from on high looked on her
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and remembered her own love princely and eemon, and she
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: pitied her in that wild race, and shining overhead in
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: her full brightness, made the long tracks plain through mountain gorgeous,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: so she won to wear well. The other nymphs round.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Alexander's corpse roared up about him a great wall of fire,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: for from the mountains far and near had come shepherds,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and heaped the death bell broad and high, for loves
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and sorrows, laid his service done to one of all
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: their comrade, and their king. Sore weeping stood they round.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: She raised no well cokenhearted when she saw him there,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: but in her mantle, muffling up her face, leapt of
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a pyre loud well that multitude there burned she clasping Paris.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: All the nymphs marveled beholding her beside her lord, flung
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: down and heart to heart speak whispering faveroughly, evil hearted
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Paris was who left a leal, true wife and took
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: for bride a wanton to himself, and Troy a curse
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: ah fool who recked not of the broken heart of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a most virtuous wife, who more than life loved him,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: who turned from her and loved her not so in
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the hearts the mim spake, but they twain burned on
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the pyre, never to hell again. The day spring. Wondering
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: shepherds stood around as once for thronging argives, marveling soy thannee,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: clasping mid the fire, her Lord Tapanius slain by Zeus,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: dread thunderbolt. But when the blast of devouring fire had
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: made twain one ohenoe in Paris, now one little heap
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of ashes, then with wine quaens they the embers, and
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: they laid their bones in a wide golden vase, and
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: round them pile the earth mound. And they set two
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: pillars there, that each from Mother ever turn away for
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the old jealousy in the Marble Lives, end of chapter
