LEADER.
Canst speak of truth with comfort joined? Those twoOnce parted, 'tis a gulf not lightly crossed.
HERALD.
Your king is vanished from the Achaian host, He and his ship! Such comfort have I brought.
LEADER.
Sailed he alone from Troy? Or was he caughtBy storms in the midst of you, and swept away?
HERALD.
Thou hast hit the truth; good marksman, as men say!And long to suffer is but brief to tell.
LEADER.
How ran the sailors' talk? Did there prevailOne rumour, showing him alive or dead?
HERALD....
None knoweth, none hath tiding, save the headOf Helios, ward and watcher of the world.
LEADER.
Then tell us of the storm. How, when God hurledHis anger, did it rise? How did it die?
HERALD.
It likes me not, a day of presage highWith dolorous tongue to stain. Those twain, I vow, Stand best apart. When one with shuddering brow, From armies lost, back beareth to his homeWord that the terror of her prayers is come;One wound in her great heart, and many a fateFor many a home of men cast out to sateThe two-fold scourge that worketh Ares' lust, Spear crossed with spear, dust wed with bloody dust;Who walketh laden with such weight of wrong, Why, let him, if he will, uplift the songThat is Hell's triumph.
