Menelaus

Menelaus

No man    lives
          so    powerful
who can    lay
dead Ajax    in a tomb.

Cast him    some place
on yellow    sands:
     his flesh    will mêlée 
          with    shore birds.

Lift not your    voices
in medley or    in threats.

While he    lived I could
               not    rule him,
yet, in death,    I
          master    him.
