With whom went stalwart Telamon for the smiting + 

Of Troy, and met the Meropes grim-fighting, + 

And Alkyoneus the giant did they slay, + 

A warrior terrible in battle-play; + 

Yet slew him not till rocks like slingstones whirling + 

From his hands crushed in shattered disarray + 

Twelve cars, and hero-riders deathward hurling + 

Twice twelve he strewed amid that wreck of cars. + 

Wholly unversed is he in lore of wars + 

To whose ears never that old saying came, + 

“Who doeth violence must endure the same.” + 
