Short time in Molossia the mighty-hearted + 

Reigned; but the honour was borne evermore + 

By the hero’s posterity. Thence he departed + 

To the shrine of Apollo, and thitherward bore + 

Rich treasure, the choicest of all the prey + 

That was gathered from Troy. But there, in a fray + 

Embroiled touching sacrifice-meats, by the knife + 

Was he slain of a treacherous lover of strife. + 
