Scene in the Trojan War.
(Translated from Homer.) And when th'opposing ranks in conflict closed, Shield rang on shield and rattled lance on lance, And clashed the might of brazen maild men. And 'midst the din of steel encount'ring steel The exultation and the groans arose Of warriors slaying, warriors being slain; And soon the earth flowed red with heroes' blood, And such the raging of the mingled host As wintry torrents, bursting from the hills, Hurl in one basin their impetuous flood, From mighty springs within the hollow rock; And the lone shepherd hears the distant roar.
