Maxioms by Homer ("smyrns Of Chios")
Who ne'er knew salt, or heard the billows roar.
Who ne'er knew salt, or heard the billows roar.
And what so tedious as a twice-told tale.
And what so tedious as a twice-told tale.
Respect us, human, and relieve us, poor.
Respect us, human, and relieve us, poor.
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow
For other's good, and melt at other's woe.
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow
For other's good, and melt at other's woe.
O friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong,
And let no warrior in the heat of fight
read more
O friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong,
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.
