Chapter 494 No.494

Soon ye read in solemn stories

Of the men of long ago,

Of the pale bewildering glories

Shining farther than we know;

Of the heroes with the laurel,

Of the poets with the bay,

Of the two worlds' earnest quarrel

For that beauteous Helena;

How Achilles at the portal

Of the tent heard footsteps nigh,

And his strong heart,
