Not for that did TurnusFail in audacity, in his confident hopeTo occupy the shore first and drive backThe invaders from the beach."Here is the chanceYou've prayed for: now to hack them up with swords!The battle is in your hands, men. Let each soldierThink of his wife, his home; let each recallHeroic actions, great feats of our fathers.Down to the surf we go, while they're in trouble,Disembarking, losing their footing. FortuneFavors men who dare!"
