The single best augury is to fight for one's country.
Young men's minds are always changeable, but when an old man is concerned in a matter, he looks both before and after.
Nay if even in the house of Hades the dead forget their dead, yet will I even there be mindful of my dear comrade.
Not vain the weakest, if their force unite.
A glorious death is his, who for his country falls.
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe.
