About that strangest, saddest, sweetest song I, when a girl, heard in Kameiros once, And, after, saved my life by? Oh, so glad To tell you the adventure! Petalé, Phullis, Charopé, Chrusion! You must know, This "after" fell in that unhappy time When poor reluctant Nikias, pushed by fate, Went faulteringly against Syracuse; And there shamed Athens, lost her ships and men, And gained a grave, or death without a grave.
