Of Greece, and Argos be no more a name.  
And thou, imperious! if thy madness wait  
The lance of Hector, thou shalt meet thy fate:  
That giant-corse, extended on the shore,  
Shall largely feast the fowls with fat and gore."  
He said; and like a lion stalk'd along:  
With shouts incessant earth and ocean rung,  
Sent from his following host: the Grecian train  
With answering thunders fill'd the echoing plain;  
A shout that tore heaven's concave, and, above,  
Shook the fix'd splendours of the throne of Jove.
