Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lays of Ancient Rome is a collection of narrative poems, or lays, by Thomas Babington Macaulay. Four of these recount heroic episodes from early Roman history with strong dramatic and tragic themes, giving the collection its name. Macaulay also included two poems inspired by recent history: Ivry (1824) and The Armada (1832).HoratiusThe first poem, Horatius, describes how Publius Horatius and two companions, Spurius Lartius and Titus Herminius, held the Sublician bridge against the Etruscan army of Lars Porsena, King of Clusium. The three heroes are willing to die in order to prevent the enemy from crossing the bridge, and sacking an otherwise ill-defended Rome. While the trio close with the front ranks of the Etruscans, the Romans hurriedly work to demolish the bridge, leaving their enemies on the wrong side of the swollen Tiber.This poem contains the often-quoted lines: Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earthDeath cometh soon or late.And how can man die betterThan facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods."Lartius and Herminius regain the Roman side before the bridge falls, but Horatius is stranded, and jumps into the river still wearing his full armor. Macaulay writes, And when above the surgesThey saw his crest appear, All Rome sent forth a rapturous cry, And even the ranks of TuscanyCould scarce forbear to cheer..Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay, FRS FRSE PC (25 October 1800

This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts, We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. Also in books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. We use state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.The "Lays of Ancient Rome" by Thomas Babington Macaulay were originally published in 1842. Immensely popular in England during Victorian times, these ballads are still a popular subject for recitation. As a student, Winston Churchill memorized them to prove his mental capabilities. This edition, newly typeset, includes all four of Macaulay's lays, with introductions, verse numbers, and explanatory footnotes.

Book excerpt: Then out spake brave HoratiusThe captain of the gate"To every man upon this earthdeath cometh soon or lateAnd how can man die betterThan facing fearful oddsfor the ashes of his fathersAnd the temples of his gods. Lord Macaulay's classic collection of four lays describe heroic episodes from ancient Roman history. They are a delightful literary adventure which allow the reader to enjoy a high point in European culture while learning some incredible details of Roman history. The first two poems describe famous conflicts which led to the creation of the Republic: the story of Horatio's defense of the bridge over the Tiber, and the Battle of Lake Regillus (where the Etruscan King Tarquinius was defeated). The third lay tells the story of the Plebeian uprising against their near-slave conditions, and the fourth tells of the Pyrrhic and Punic Wars. These masterpieces of literary writing were so highly regarded that they were required reading in British public schools for more than a hundred years-until they were deliberately replaced by the current "dumbed-down" anti-European curricula found in Western schools today. This edition contains the author's original introduction and his overview of each lay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lays of Ancient Rome A lay is a brief poem usually narrating some deed of daring, the exploit of one man, or the achievement of a whole nation. The word is the same as the old French lai and seems originally to have meant a song, in the period of the Middle Ages when almost all poetry was sung, or chanted, to the accompaniment of some musical instrument. We, who read these tales in print to-day, miss the splendor that attended them in olden times when there were in existence only a few books, all laboriously copied by hand, and when it was the custom for people to gather in some spacious hall, or some open street, to hear the minstrel recite his heroic stories with the utmost dramatic effectiveness of voice and gesture.
