But not the genial feast, nor flowing bowl,
Could charm the cares of Nestor's watchful soul;
His startled ears the cries attend;
Then thus, impatient, to his wounded friend:
"What new alarm, divine Machaon, say,
What mix'd events attend this mighty day?
Could charm the cares of Nestor's watchful soul;
His startled ears the cries attend;
Then thus, impatient, to his wounded friend:
"What new alarm, divine Machaon, say,
What mix'd events attend this mighty day?
Iliad - Pope
