Behold the sword with which the hero slew

The valiant Trojans. From his murderer

I took the weapon, and implor'd the Gods

To grant me Agamemnon's mighty arm,

Success, and valor, with a death more noble.

Select one of the leaders of thy host,

And place the best as my opponent here.

Where'er on earth the sons of heroes dwell,

This boon is to the stranger ne'er refus'd.
