But while he clamored,Volcens' blade, thrust hard, passed through the ribsAnd breached the snow-white chest. EuryalusIn death went reeling down,And blood streamed on his handsome length, his neckCollapsing let his head fall on his shoulder --As a bright flower cut by a passing plowWill droop and wither slowly, or a poppyBow its head upon its tired stalkWhen overborne by a passing rain.
