ue;
Stripp'd of its arms alone (the conqueror's due)
The rest to Greece uninjured I'll restore:
Now plight thy mutual oathI ask no more.
Talk not of oaths (the dreadful chief replies
While anger flash'd from his disdainful eyes)
Detested as thou artand ought to be
Nor oath nor pact Achilles plights with thee:
Such pacts as lambs and rabid wolves combine
Such leagues as men and furious lions join
To such I call the gods yilai:

which must be left to the worldto truthand to
posterity[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! one constant state
Of lasting rancour and eternal hate:
No thought but rageand never-ceasing strife
Till death extinguish rageand thoughtand life.
Rouse then thy forces this important hour
Collect thy souland call forth all thy power.
No further subterfugeno further chance;
'Tis PallasPallas gives thee to my lance.
Each Grecian ghostby thee deprived of breath
Now hovers roundand calls thee to thy death.
He spokeand launch'd his javelin at the foe;
But Hector shunn'd the meditated blow:
He stoop'dwhile o'er his head the flying spear
Sang innocentand spent its force in air.
Translated by Pope374
Minerva watch'd it falling on the land
Then drewand gave to great Achilles' hand
Unseen of Hectorwhoelate with joy
Now shakes his lancea
