Chapter_120

Unswerving Honour’s home is there beside the western seas.

The Lokrians’ burg. They reverence the Queen of Epic Song

And Ares bronze-arrayed. Yea, even mighty Heracles

Must needs before your Kyknus flee, a foeman over-strong.

To Has let the Olympian victor render thanks this day,

Who trained Agesidamus’ hands for that grim gauntlet-play;

As oft Patroclus thanked Achilles, saith the old-time story.

The man for high achievement born shall win yet higher glory

If one with God’s help whet his spirit’s edge to each essay.
