Roars through the desert, and demands his prey.  
Paris he seeks, impatient to destroy,  
But seeks in vain along the troops of Troy;  
Even those had yielded to a foe so brave  
The recreant warrior, hateful as the grave.  
Then speaking thus, the king of kings arose,  
"Ye Trojans, Dardans, all our generous foes!  
Hear and attest! from Heaven with conquest crown'd,  
Our brother's arms the just success have found:  
Be therefore now the Spartan wealth restor'd,  
Let Argive Helen own her lawful lord;  
The appointed fine let Ilion justly pay,  
And age to age record this signal day."  
He ceased; his army's loud applauses rise,  
And the long shout runs echoing through the skies.
