    All were attentive to the godlike man,
    When from his lofty couch he thus began:
    Great queen, what you command me to relate
    Renews the sad remembrance of our fate:
    An empire from its old foundations rent,
    And ev'ry woe the Trojans underwent;
    A peopled city made a desart place;
    All that I saw, and part of which I was:
    Not ev'n the hardest of our foes could hear,
    Nor stern Ulysses tell without a tear.
    And now the latter watch of wasting night,
    And setting stars, to kindly rest invite;
    But, since you take such int'rest in our woe,
    And Troy's disastrous end desire to know,
    I will restrain my tears, and briefly tell
    What in our last and fatal night befell.
