And she found her maidens there, and with them she bewailed her lord, while yet he lived; for they feared that he would never again return from battle. And the goodly Paris donned his beautiful armor, and hastened after his brother, whom he overtook, and he made excuse for his long tarrying.
He was maddeningly sure of himself, and while he sometimes gave back thrust for thrust, he never lost his temper.
