But lo, he is honoured of Homer the wide world over, who set on high + 

All knightly prowess of Aias; and his god-gifted poesy + 

Hath taught the measure whereby all other bards must frame the lay: + 

For a noble song passeth down the years with a voice that liveth for aye, + 

And over the harvest-abounding earth, and across the sea for ever + 

Goeth the sunbright shining of noble deeds, to be quenchèd never. + 
