Ajax is forced from the ships by Hector clad in bronze
But who’s this to the rescue? Here come the Myrmidons!
Achilles has released his men to take part in the drama
To Patroclus, he’s even lent his helmet and his armour
The tide of battle turns once more, much Trojan blood is spilled
by Patroclus, and Sarpedon, the son of Zeus, is killed
The Trojans are in full retreat, back to their city wall
Until Apollo intervenes, he will not let Troy fall
Apollo strikes at Patroclus, knocks off his head protector
He’s wounded by a javelin and finished off by Hector.
