Ah, there's many a Greek and Trojan dead, Since first I saw yourself and Diomed
In Ilium, on your Greekish embassy Sir, I foretold you then what would ensue:
My prophecy is but half her journey yet For yonder walls,
that pertly front your town, Yond towers, whose wanton tops
do buss the clouds, Must kiss their own feet I must not believe you:
There they stand yet, and modestly I think, The fall of every Phrygian stone will cost
A drop of Grecian blood: the end crowns all, And that old common arbitrator, Time, Will one day end it So to him we leave it

Ah, there's many a Greek and Trojan dead,
00:00:03.068 --> 00:00:08.012
Since first I saw yourself and Diomed
In Ilium, on your Greekish embassy
00:00:08.024 --> 00:00:13.072
Sir, I foretold you then what would ensue:
My prophecy is but half her journey yet
00:00:13.076 --> 00:00:17.004
For yonder walls,
that pertly front your town,
00:00:17.052 --> 00:00:21.008
Yond towers, whose wanton tops
do buss the clouds,
00:00:21.084 --> 00:00:23.092
Must kiss their own feet
00:00:23.096 --> 00:00:29.032
I must not believe you:
There they stand yet, and modestly I think,
00:00:29.096 --> 00:00:35.004
The fall of every Phrygian stone will cost
A drop of Grecian blood: the end crowns all,
00:00:36.036 --> 00:00:40.002
And that old common arbitrator, Time,
00:00:41.036 --> 00:00:42.084
Will one day end it
00:00:42.092 --> 00:00:44.048
So to him we leave it.
