and are but as the sound That echoes to a trumpet, when we say ; As from the choicest flowers in all the garden We gather for a sacrifice, so ye, Who are the foremost in this noble isle, In station, and in riches, and in spirit, Which Nature gave ye as a crown of flowers, O ye must yield your lives ; ay, blood for blood, To mark the day, and make it memorable.
Death to the noble who ignobly lives, Death to the highborn robber, death to pride.'' " Death to Myrsilus ! tyrant ; thine own tongue Ha...th judged thee and condemn'd — thou art the Man !" Cried Pittacus — but Myrsilus pluck'd down A javelin from the wall, and launch'd it forth With perilous might ; but with unsteady eye, So that it flew above the nearer heads, MYRSILUS 255 Sparing the life of him who was the mark, But struck the false cupbearer, far withdrawn, Between the eyes ; and he fell with a groan.
Then Antimenidas with sudden bound Sprang forward, waving high above his head The mighty scimitar, with ivory hilt, Brought from the east, and rainbow colours play'd Upon it from the lamps ; he stood behind The throne of Myrsilus, and held it high Above his head ; and when the tyrant glared, And would have spoken, higher still it rose, As though it would come down upon his neck, If but one word were utter'd.
