Somes and among these one at least of our

what appears to me to be their failure, have
gone far To prove the inpossibihty of the
task | have long held by our blank verse III
this matter, and now, after having spoken
disrespectfully here of these hexameters, |
venture, or rather feel bound to suboin
specimen, however brief, and with whatever
dement's Of a blank-verse translation:
lie ceased, and sea-like roar the Trojan host
And loosed their sweating horses from the yoke,
And each beside his chariot bound his own;
And oxen from the city and goodly sheep
In LA ste they drove, and money n eartedr wine
And bread from out their houses brought and
heap'd
Their frewood, a. the winds from of the plain
Koll'd the rich vapor tar into the heaven,
And these all night sat ON the bridge of war
triumphant many fire before them blazed;
As when in heaven the stars about the moon
Look beautiful when all the winds are laid,
And every height comes out, and jutting peak
And valley, and the unreasonable heavens
Break open to their highest, and all the stars
Shine, and the hind rcjoices in his heart;
so many fire between the ships and stream
OF Aanthus blazed before the towers Troy,
\ thousand on the plain and close by each
sat fifty in the blaze Of burning fire;
And champing golden grain their horses stood,
Tiiard by the chariots, waiting the fair dawn.
