With thy wise dreams and fables of the sky.
Fly, dotard, fly!
With thy wise dreams and fables of the sky.
Content to follow when we lead the way.
Content to follow when we lead the way.
If yet not lost to all the sense of shame.
If yet not lost to all the sense of shame.
Achilles absent, was Achilles still.
Achilles absent, was Achilles still.
O friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong,
And let no warrior in the heat of fight

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.
