 | A minstrel was singing to the guests and two tumblers were whirling round the high hall to divert them. |

| Then in sore displeasure spake to him Menelaus of the fair hair: ’Eteoneus son of Boethous, truly thou wert not a fool aforetime, but now for this once, like a child thou talkest folly. |
| So spake he, and Eteoneus hasted from the hall, and called the other ready squires to follow with him. |
| So they loosed the sweating horses from beneath the yoke, and fastened them at the stalls of the horses, and threw beside them spelt, and therewith mixed white barley, and tilted the chariot against the shining faces of the gateway, and led the men into the hall divine. |
