Him then in answer addrest high Zeuses favouring angel.
‘Tempt not a young man, sire! Thou wilt not lightly corrupt me,
Thus proffering me presents of worth unknown to Achilles;
Whom I fear, nor ever my heart for shame would allow me
So to defraud, lest haply some ill should come to me after.
But as a guide wd I aid thee; yea, ev'n to illustrious Argos
Faithfully both by land and sea wd accompany thy way;
And not a man for scorn of thine escort shd attack thee.’
