ABSTRACT
Then out spake brave Horatius, The captain of the Gate: To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods? Thomas Babington Macaulay,“Horatius: A Lay about the Year ofthe City CCCLX,” stanza 27 (Macaulay 1897)
