You neither sent him down to hell nor raised him up You incurred not hera"s wrath nor threw love-cursed dido on her pyre You did not bear anchises upon your shoulders as you fled troy"s burning walls You do not own the blind poet"s songs, hektor of the shining helm, diomedes of the great war cry You cannot take plutarch nor socrates by phd!
