Slay with your eyes, Greek, men over the face of the earth, slay with your eyes, the host, puny, passionless, weak. Break as the ranks of steel broke when the Persian lost: craven, we hated them then: now we would count them Gods beside these, spawn of the earth. Grant us your mantle, Greek! grant us but one to fright (as your eyes) with a sword, men, craven and weak, grant us but one to strike one blow for you, passionate Greek. |
