Moving together in a ghostly world, A NIGHT OF THE TROJAN WAR 45 With life a luckless beggar at the door. It is not ours to hate, who have all put by That safety where men think eternity Immeasurably far, and leisured passions have Their sorry breeding place. Great kings may hate, And priests may thunder hate, and grey-beard prophets May cry again to those who cry their hate In pride of their new-found authority, Fearing lest love should mark them as they are, And send them barren from their br...utal thrift. But not for us this envy. It is ours Merely to die, or give the death that these Out of their hatred or indifference will. Pronax : It's not that a man grows tardy in his duty . . . It's still a glad thing to do as the motherland bids, Though the blind soul forgets how sprang the cause. I shall die in my hour, though it should come to-day, Not grudging. Yet it is bitterness for youth, When nothing should be but scrutiny of life. Mating, and building towards a durable fame, And setting the hearthstone trim for a lover's cares, To let all knowledge of these things go, and learn Only of death, that should be hidden from youth, A great thing biding upon the fulness of age, And not made common gossip among these tides Of daily beastliness.
