Quite unexpectedly Chryses, a Trojan priest Paid a ransom to have his captured daughter released So Menelaus let her go and took Briseis instead Who was formerly warming young Achilles’ bed
Refusing now to fight in the war Achilles was disgraced and rather sore For not only did Menelaus take away his prize But he also helped when Iphigenia had been sacrificed
It was Agamemnon, not Menelaos. Love how he dies (Agamemnon, that is)
no subject
Slight nitpick, though...
