35. A Strange Spectacle

We have seen gentle deer charging on head to head,
And meeting together, together fall dead,
While the hounds stood amazed at this new sort of strife,
And the huntsman found nothing to do for his knife.
What frenzy to weaklings such fire could supply?
In this fashion bulls fight, in this fashion men die.
