For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”

“ But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?They are gaunt from lack and famine.

They cry after them as after a thief;So that they dwell in frightful valleys, and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.They bray among the bushes. They are gathered together under the nettles.They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged out of the land.“ Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.
