Proposition and Invocation
Achilles banefull wrath resound, O Goddesse, that imposd
Infinite sorrowes on the Greekes ; and many brave soules losd
From breasts Heroique: sent them farre, to that invisible cave
That no light comforts: and their lims, to dogs and vultures gave.
To all which, Joves will gave effect; from whom, first strife begunne,
Betwixt Atrides , king of men; and Thetis godlike Sonne.
