To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And brightly, through his reeds and flowers, Eurotas wander'd by, When a sound arose from Sparta's towers Of solemn harmony.
<| * Originally published in the Edinburgh Magazine.
THE SPARTAN'S MARCH. 87 Was it the hunters' choral strain To the woodland-goddess pour'd ? Did virgin-hands in Pallas' fane Strike the full-sounding chord ?
But helms were glancing on the stream, Spears ranged in close array. And shields flung back a glorious beam To the morn of a fearful day !
And the mountain-echoes of the land SwelPd through the deep-blue sky, While to soft strains moved forth a band Of men that moved to die.
They march'd not with the trumpet's blast, Nor bade the horn peal out, And the laurel-groves, as on they passed, Rung with no battle-shout !
They ask'd no clarion's voice to fire Their souls with an impulse high ; But the Dorian reed and the Spartan lyre For the sons of liberty !
88 GREEK SONGS.
And still sweet flutes, their path around, Sent forth Eolian breath ; They needed not a sterner sound To marshal them for death !
