And here the buzz of eager nations ran, In munnur'd pity, or loud-roar'd applause, As man was slaughter'd by his fellow-man. And wherefore slaughter'd ? wherefore, but because Such were the bloody circus' genial laws, And the imperial pleasure. Wherefore not ? What matters where we fall to fill the maws Of worms on battle-plains or listed spot ? Both are but theaters where the chief actors rot. 8. I see before me the gladiator lie : He leans upon his hand ; his manly brow Consents to death, but... conquers agony, And his droop'd head sinks gradually low ; And through his side the last drops, ebbing slow From the red gash, fall heavy, one by one, Like the first of a thunder-shower ; and now The arena swims around him : he is gone, Ere ceased the inhuman shout which hail'd the wretch who won 4. He heard it, but he heeded not ; his eyes Were with his heart, and that was far away : He reck'd not of the life he lost, nor prize ; But where his rude hut by the Danube lay, There wero his young barbarians all at play, There was their Dacian ' mother he, their sire, Butcher'd to make a Roman holiday.
