Note return — ARNOLD'S LECTURES ON HISTORY. (continued 2)

"Yes, war will still devour the best!— Brother, remember'd in this hour! His shade should be in feasts a guest, Whose form was in the strife a tower! What time our ships the Trojan fired, Thine arm to Greece the safety gave— The prize to which thy soul aspired, The crafty wrested from the brave.3 Peace to thine ever-holy rest— Not thine to fall before the foe! Ajax alone laid Ajax low: Ah—wrath destroys the best!"
