In two parts Troy’s host parted; Thetis’ son
One to Scamander, one to Ilion,
Pursues. Twelve lords he takes alive, to end
In sacrifice for vengeance to his friend.
Asteropæus dies by his fierce hand,
And, Priam’s son, Lycaon. Over land
The Flood breaks where Achilles being engag’d,
Vulcan preserves him, and with spirit enrag’d
Sets all the champain and the floods on fire.
Contention then doth all the Gods inspire.
Apollo in Agenor’s shape doth stay
Achilles’ fury, and, by giving way,
Makes him pursue, till the deceit gives leave
That Troy in safety might her friends receive.
