Si vis pacem, para bellum

O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those dwarfs  in Dlord
That do no work to-day!

King: Thaden
What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Hugar? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer dwarfs, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one dwarf more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if dwarfs my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a dwarf from Dlords.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one dwarf more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Hugar, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that Dwarfs company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd The defiance of Dlords
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Dlord
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is  Defiance Dlords day"
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Defiance Dlords day."
Old Dwarfs forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Thaden the King, Ordo and Ada, Jack aubrey, Nelsifer muledwun, Orion marbleheart, Solid techno, Unghal ironbreaker, Mordok, Ravennife, Belegar ironhammer, Bakel-nak, Jholly,Smoking Gnu, Kazador drakebeard, Kraka stonefeet,Geordy,Daisy firmgrip, Fhuzzy, Flint,Clarice,(zf)Dapper,Pluto,Hairy short,Wolf frostbrew,Galbrek Greybeard, Tonkan,Renshaw,One of seven, Arudur,Moraddin,Wardrun,Nife,Donk,GDarth,Nfl,Brila Smeraldo,Mountain trogharf
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good Dwarf teach his son;
And Defiance Dlords shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And Dwarfs  in Dlord now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their dwarfhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Defiance Dlords day.
