[In a letter to the printer]  Homer makes Agamemnon speak to
Achilles, very nearly the substance of the foregoing
sentiment.
Strife and debate thy restless soul employ,
And wars and horrors are thy savage joy:
If thou hast strength,`twas heav'n that strength bestow'd,
For know, vain man, thy valour is from God.
[signed] Pope.
