A Look Inside
Let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter.
Be strong, saith my heart; I am a soldier; I have seen worse sights than this.
You, why are you so afraid of war and slaughter? Even if all the rest of us drop and die around you, grappling for the ships, you’d run no risk of death: you lack the heart to last it out in combat—coward!
