Vtt fun he too is mortal f he may feel (Lihi* all the fons of earth) the force of flcel ihu: only f(»ul informs that dreadful frame ; And Ji>vc's fole favotir gives him all his fame. He faid, and flood coHc6fcd in his might : And all his beating bofoin claimed the fight. So From fome deep-grown wood a panther fla Rous'd from his thicket by a flomi of darts: Vnraught to fear or fly, he hears the founds ! Of Ihouting hunters, and of clamorous houm Tho' flruck, tho' wounded Icarce perceives pain ;... And the barb'd javelin flings his breaft in vain On their whole war, untamM the favage flia And tears his hunter, or beneath him dies* Not lefs refolv'd, .\ntonor*s valiant heir Confront* Achilles, and awaits the war, Dildainful of retreat ; high-held before. His fhield, (a broad circumference) he bore; Thtn, graceful, as he flood in ad to throw The lifted javelin, thu* befpokc the foe : How proud Achilles glories in his fame ! And hopes this day to fink the Trojan name Beneath her ruins f Know, tliat hope is vain ; A thoufand woes, a thoufand toils, remain.
