Soon as he saw the captured city fall, / the palace-gates burst open, and the foe / dealing wild riot in his inmost hall, / up sprang the old man and, at danger's call, / braced o'er his trembling shoulders in a breath / his rusty armour, took his belt withal, / and drew the useless falchion from its sheath, / and on their thronging spears rushed forth to meet his death.

Voyant les Grecs vainqueurs au sein de ses remparts, / son antique palais forcé de toutes parts, / l'ennemi sous ses yeux, d'une armure impuissante / ce vieillard charge en vain son épaule tremblante, / prend un glaive à son bras dès longtemps étranger, / et s'apprête à mourir plutôt qu'à se venger.
