Now they made all secure in the fast black ship,and, setting out the wine bowls all a-brim,they made libation to the gods, the undying, the ever-new,most of all to the grey-eyed daughter of Zeus.And the prow sheared through the night into the dawn.(Translation by Robert Fitzgerald 1961)

And overpowered by memoryBoth men gave way to grief. Priam wept freelyFor man - killing Hector, throbbing, crouchingBefore Achilles' feet as Achilles wept himself,Now for his father, now for Patroclus once againAnd their sobbing rose and fell throughout the house.
