    And let no warrior in the heat of fight
    Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes;
    For more of those who shrink from shame are safe
    Than fall in battle, while with those who flee
    Is neither glory nor reprieve from death.

Better like Hector in the field to die,
Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly.
