    unknown, are lost in the distant night, since they are without a
    divine poet (to chronicle their deeds).
    [Lat., Vixere fortes ante Agamemnona
    Multi; sed omnes illacrimabiles
    Urguentur ignotique sacro.]

By all their country's wishes blest!

By forms unseen their dirge is sung.

The truly brave,
When they behold the brave oppressed with odds,
Are touched with a desire to shield and save:--

Are they--now furious as the sweeping wave,
Now moved with pity; even as sometimes nods
The rugged tree unto the summer wind,
Compassion breathes along the savage mind.
