...
I never bade you go
To Moscow or to Rome.
Renounce that drudgery,
Call the Muses home.

With togas, battle axes, shields, we made a dazzling show,
When we were Roman soldiers with Brutus in St. Jo!
We wheeled and filed and double-quicked wherever Brutus led,
The folks applauding what we did as much as what he said;
