Surveys exultant: of th' immortal Train
Discord alone descends, assists alone
The Horrors of the Field; in peace the Gods

The rising Tow'rs of Troy, the tented Shores,
The Blaze of Arms, the Slayer and the Slain.

In murd'rous Storms the Shafts from Host to Host
Flew adverse, and in equal Numbers fell
Promiscuous Greek and Trojan, till the Hour
