"No babe you can't die in battle you have a family to think about! Stop saying stupid things!"

"Thus spoke brave Horatius, the captain of the gate

Death comes for every man, either soon or late

And how can man die better than facing bitter odds

For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his gods?"

Almost:

> The Captain of the gate

> ‘To every man upon this earth

> Death cometh soon or late.

> And how can man die better

> Than facing fearful odds,

> For the ashes of his fathers,

> And the temples of his Gods,'

It was my grandad's favorite bit of poetry so I always spot if it's wrong :P
