How long will ye rest careless and at ease,
That are unweary; O negligent young men ?
When will ye any valour show of heart,

In sight of neighbour Nations? Be ye not
Ashamed yet to be naught? Or haply ye hope,
Yourselves to dwell in solace and secure;

When wars have overthrown everywhere the round
Earth!

Kallinos1

Fight will we willingly, for our Mother State, And for our children: unto peril of death,

Offer our bodies.

Warriors, let no faint

Desire of life, your generous souls oppress!

VII Cent. B.C.
