THE ARGUMENT

Achilles orders justs of exsequies

For his Patroclus; and doth sacrifice

Twelve Trojan princes, most lov’d hounds and horse,

And other off’rings, to the honour’d corse.

He institutes, besides, a Funeral Game;

Where Diomed, for horse-race, wins the fame;

For foot, Ulysses; others otherwise

Strive, and obtain; and end the Exsequies.
