In perfect phalanx to the Dorian mode
Of flutes and soft recorders — such as raised
To height of noblest temper heroes old
Arming to battle, and instead of rage
Deliberate valour breathed, firm, and unmoved
With dread of death to fligh or foul retreat;
Nor wanting power to mitigate andsuage
With solemn touches troubled thoughts, and chase
Anguish and doubt and fear and sorrow and pain
From mortal or immortal minds. [...]
