Thus joyful Troy maintain’d the watch of night; While fear, pale comrade of inglorious flight, And heaven-bred horror, on the Grecian part, Sat on each face, and sadden’d every heart.
As from its cloudy dungeon issuing forth, A double tempest of the west and north Swells o’er the sea, from Thracia’s frozen shore, Heaps waves on waves, and bids the Ægean roar: This way and that the boiling deeps are toss’d: Such various passions urged the troubled host, Great Agamemnon grieved above the rest; Superior sorrows swell’d his royal breast; Himself his orders to the heralds bears, To bid to council all the Grecian peers, But bid in whispers: these surround their chief, In solemn sadness and majestic grief.
The king amidst the mournful circle rose: Down his wan cheek a briny torrent flows.
So silent fountains, from a rock’s tall head, In sable streams soft-trickling waters shed.
With more than vulgar grief he stood oppress’d; Words, mix’d with sighs, thus bursting from his breast: Ye sons of Greece! partake your leader’s care; Fellows in arms and princes of the war!
