"The truly brave, When they behold the brave oppressed with odds, Are touched with a desire to shield and save:— A mixture of wild beasts and demi-gods Are they—now furious as the sweeping wave, Now moved with pity; even as sometimes nods The rugged tree unto the summer wind, Compassion breathes along the savage mind."
