the roof with shining helmets,
their horsehair plumes waving in wind, headdress
of fighting men. And pegs
are concealed under bright greaves of brass
that block the iron-tipped arrows. Many

are heaped about the floor,
and standing in rows are swords of Chalkidian steel,
belt-knives and warrior's kilts.
We cannot forget our arms and armor when soon
our dreadful duties begin.”
