The Iliad

Note 711 — BOOK THE TWENTY-SECOND.

Theodore Alois Buckley translation · Edition 4

Footnote 711: (return) “I have conversed with some men who rejoiced in the death or calamity of others, and accounted it as a judgment upon them for being on the other side, and against them in the contention: but within the revolution of a few months, the same man met with a more uneasy and unhandsome death; which when I saw, I wept, and was afraid; for I knew that it must be so with all men; for we also die, and end our quarrels and contentions by passing to a final sentence.”—Taylor, Holy Dying, i. p. 305, ed. Bohn.
