All were in vain--the Fates thy death demand,  
Due to a mortal and immortal hand."  
Then ceased for ever, by the Furies tied,  
His fateful voice. The intrepid chief replied  
With unabated rage--"So let it be!  
Portents and prodigies are lost on me.  
I know my fate: to die, to see no more  
My much-loved parents, and my native shore--  
Enough--when heaven ordains, I sink in night:  
Now perish Troy!" He said, and rush'd to fight.
