number stronger they skilled art war they fight either chariots foot occasion served morning therefore they came thick leaves bloom summer hand heaven us we hard pressed
they set battle array near ships hosts aimed bronzeshod spears another
long day waxed still morning we held though they number we sun went towards time men loose oxen cicons got better us we lost half dozen men every ship we we got away left
thence we sailed onward sorrow hearts glad escaped death though we lost comrades we leave till we thrice invoked poor fellows perished hands cicons
