Verse
Iliad
Book 16, Line 540 by Samuel Butler (English)
Sarpedon leader of the Lycian warriors has fallen - he who was at once the right and might of Lycia ; Ares has laid him low by the spear of Patroklos. Stand by him, my friends, and suffer not the Myrmidons to strip him of his armor, nor to treat his body with contumely in revenge for all the Danaans whom we have speared at the ships."
