Verse
Iliad
Book 1, Line 210 by Samuel Butler (English)
Cease, then, this brawling, and do not draw your sword; rail at him if you will, and your railing will not be vain, for I tell you - and it shall surely be - that you shall hereafter receive gifts three times as splendid by reason of this present insult [ hubris ]. Hold, therefore, and obey."
