For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,

For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”

And the circle of them
With a bright stain.
They will cast out the dead
A sight for Priam’s queen to lament
And her frightened daughters.”
