But, Roman, when thou standest Upon that holy ground, Look thou with heed on the dark rock That girds the dark lake round. So shalt thou see a hoof-mark Stamped deep into the flint; It was no hoof of mortal steed That made so strange a dint. There to the Great Twin Brethren Vow thou thy vows, and pray That they, in tempest and in fight, Will keep thy head alway. ... -Thomas Babington Macaulay (1888), [URL='https://archive.org/details/laysofancientrom04maca/page/60/mode/2up']Lays of Ancient Rome, Battle of the Lake Regillus[/URL][/SIZE][/INDENT][/QUOTE]
