LXI The horsemen past, their void-left stations fill The bands on foot, and Reymond them beforn, Of Tholouse lord, from lands near Piraene Hill By Garound streams and salt sea billows worn, Four thousand foot he brought, well armed, and skill Had they all pains and travels to have borne, Stout men of arms and with their guide of power Like Troy’s old town defenced with Ilion’s tower.

CASSANDRA I CAPTIVE on a foreign shore, Far from Ilion’s hoary wave, Agamemnon’s bridal slave Speaks Futurity no more: Death is busy with her grave.

III Once to many a pealing shriek, Lo, from Ilion’s topmost tower, Ilion’s fierce prophetic flower Cried the coming of the Greek! Black in Hades sits the hour.
