He said, and in his arms upheld the chief.  
The slaves their master's slow approach survey'd,  
And hides of oxen on the floor display'd:  
There stretch'd at length the wounded hero lay;  
Patroclus cut the forky steel away:  
Then in his hands a bitter root he bruised;  
The wound he wash'd, the styptic juice infused.  
The closing flesh that instant ceased to glow,  
The wound to torture, and the blood to flow.
