In a low faint voice,
Patroclus, master of horse, you answered him:
'This is your hour to glory over me,
Hector. The Lord Zeus and Apollo gave you
the upper hand and put me down with ease.
They stripped me of my arms. No one else did.
Say twenty men like you had come against me,
all would have died before me spear.
No, Leto's son and fatal destiny
have killed me; if we speak of men, Euphorbus.
You were in third place, only in at the death.
I'll tell you one thing more; take it to heart.
No long life is ahead for you. This day
your death stands near, and your immutable end,
at Prince Achilles' hands.'
