        Come here about me, you my Myrmidons.
        
        Mark what I say. Attend me where I wheel.
        
        Strike not a stroke, but keep yourselves in breath,
        
        And, when I have the bloody Hector found,

        Empale him with your weapons round about. 
        In fellest manner execute your arms.
        
        Follow me, sirs, and my proceedings eye.
        
        It is decreed Hector the great must die.
