Note 102 — XVI.

Ellen Frothingham translation

Iliad ii. 43–47.

He sat upright and put his tunic on,

Soft, fair, and new, and over that he cast

His ample cloak, and round his shapely feet

Laced the becoming sandals. Next, he hung

Upon his shoulders and his side the sword

With silver studs, and took into his hand

The ancestral sceptre, old but undecayed.—Bryant.
