AS IT IS WRITTEN.
Reading edition
The she wolf’s ruthless whelp that tare Old Africa is dead and all Despised; but Egypt still is fair, Jugartha brave; and Hannibal Still hero of the Alps and more To-day than all red men of Rome. Archimedes still holds his measured home; Grim Marius his ruins as of yore, And heart still turns to heart, as then. Live by the sword and by the sword Ye surely die: thus saith the Lord— And die despised of men.
