And gazing on Italian skies
Of his loved Argos dreams, and dies.

"Must I die," she said,
"And unreveng'd? 'tis doubly to be dead!
Yet even this death with pleasure I receive:
On any terms, 'tis better than to live."

The woods, the fountains, and the flow'ry ground:
As you are beauteous, were you half so true,
Here could I live, and love, and die with only you.

Virgil

Arms! arms! my friends, with speed my arms supply,
'Tis our last hour, and summons us to die;
My arms!—in vain you hold me,—let me go—
Give, give me back this moment to the foe.
'Tis well—we will not tamely perish all,
But die revenged, and triumph in our fall.

Virgil

Your honor, name, and praise shall never die.

Virgil

Nerved by strong courage to defy
The worst, and gain his end or die.

Virgil
