So now the Rutuli fall on when clear the way they find, But Quercens, and Æquicolus the lovely war-clad one, And Tmarus of the headlong soul, and Hæmon, Mavors' son, Must either turn their backs in flight, with all their men of war, Or lay adown their lovèd lives on threshold of the door.

From Project Gutenberg
