  1. By us, o’er sea and land the aery flyers,
  2. Troia at last taking, the band of Argives
  3. Hang up such trophies to the gods of Hellas
  4. Within their domes — new glory to grow ancient!
  5. Such things men having heard must praise the city
  6. And army-leaders: and the grace which wrought them —
  7. Of Zeus, shall honoured be. Thou hast my whole word.
CHOROS.
  1. O’ercome by words, their sense I do not gainsay.
