STROPHE III

So I would tell that thus to Ilion came

Mood as of calm when all the air is still,

The gentle pride and joy of kingly state,

A tender glance of eye,

The full-blown blossom of a passionate love,

Thrilling the very soul; 720

And yet she turned aside,

And wrought a bitter end of marriage feast,

Coming to Priam's race,

Ill sojourner, ill friend,

Sent by great Zeus, the God of host and guest—

Erinnys, for whom wives weep many tears.
