DEDICATION FOR A SPEAR by SIMONIDES OF CEOS

First Line: TO PILLAR'S HEIGHT REACH UP, AND REST THEE NOW
Last Line: A SPEAR LONG SHAKEN IN THE BLAZE OF WAR.
Subject(s): ARMS & ARMOR;
TO pillar's height reach up, and rest thee now,
Tall ashen beam, with Zeus the Oracular.
Outworn and old thy head of bronze and thou,
A spear long shaken in the blaze of war.
