Professional soldiers-the elite
Easily removable from mount-the glories and history
this Dagger could tell
Of men who fear disgrace than fall in in fight-while weak forfeit life and glory both. As in myth
He said,and hurl'd his spear. He pierced a friend of brave
Aeneas himself...not less esteem'd than the sons of the
King of Troy-such was his fame in the fight foremost was
acquired, Him, Agamenon on his shield smote(the victim) ,
nor stayed the weapon in the shield, but through his belt
the spear his bowels enter'd, and with hideous clang,
And outcry of his battered He fell...
