For neither Jove almighty nor the Fates
Forbade Troy to endure, Priam to live,
Ten further years. If you are ready now
To arm for war and have a mind to wage it,

All that is forgeable in steel and molten
Alloy by the strength of blast-fire

Lord Vulcan, captive to immortal passion,

Afield for reasons? Has your trust in me
Gone elsewhere, goddess? If concern like this
Had moved you in the old days, even then
I might have armed the Trojans lawfully—

Invading him as ever, into his marrow
Ran the fire he knew, and through his bones,
As when sometimes, ripped by a thunder peal,
A fiery flash goes jagged through the clouds.
His wife, contented with her blandishment,
Sure of her loveliness, perceived it all.

By your skill, in your metal. Most dear husband,
I never wished to tax you, make you toil
In a lost cause, however much I owed
To Priam’s sons, however long I wept
Over Aeneas’ ordeals. Now, however,
By the command of Jove he has made good
His landing on the Rutulian shore, and so

In her bridal chamber
All of gold, putting divine desire
In every word, she said
“While Argive kings
Lay their due victim, Pergama, waste-her towers
Doomed to fall in fires her enemy set-
Never did I demand for the desperate
Any relief at all, no weapons forged
