And, O young men, of active prime whose vigor equals mine! Cast down your ivy scepters; take up arms; put on your helmets; strip your brows of leaves; be mindful of the mighty stock you are, and let your souls be animated with the spirit of that dauntless dragon, which, unaided, slew so many, and at last died to defend his fountain and his lake.— so ye may conquer in the hope of fame. “He gave the brave to death, but with your arms ye shall expel the worthless, and enhance the glory of your land.
