David McKee Wright - Hector

David McKee Wright - Hector

He strode across the schoolroom in July, br Great Hector, clanging in his brazen mail; br And all the cringing Greeks, with faces pale, br Creaked into jabbering Ks and turned to fly. br Achilles, safe because he could not die, br Cheated and won; and all the lines grew stale. br The life was gone from out the shabby tale; br And back in Homer's teeth we flung the lie. br br We fought for Troy behind a mossy wall; br We burned the Grecian ships below a tree . . .
