The poor Trojans are all dead, now.

They were born too late to see Noah's ark, and died too soon to see our menagerie.

We saw where Agamemnon's fleets rendezvoused, and away inland a mountain which the map said was Mount Ida.

Within the Hellespont we saw where the original first shoddy contract mentioned in history was carried out, and the "parties of the second part" gently rebuked by Xerxes.

I speak of the famous bridge of boats which Xerxes ordered to be built over the narrowest part of the Hellespont (where it is only two or three miles wide.) A moderate gale destroyed the flimsy structure, and the King, thinking that to publicly rebuke the contractors might have a good effect on the next set, called them out before the army and had them beheaded.
