As some fleet hound close-threatening flank or haunch 390

Of boar or lion, oft as he his head

Turns flying, marks him with a steadfast eye,

So Hector chased the Grecians, slaying still

The hindmost of the scatter’d multitude.

But when, at length, both piles and hollow foss 395

They had surmounted, and no few had fallen

By Trojan hands, within their fleet they stood

Imprison’d, calling each to each, and prayer

With lifted hands, loud offering to the Gods.

With Gorgon looks, meantime, and eyes of Mars, 400

Hector impetuous his mane-tossing steeds

197 From side to side before the rampart drove,

When white-arm’d Juno pitying the Greeks,

In accents wing’d her speech to Pallas turn’d.
