horatius.

My mind was adrift in memories...then a voice called out;

Alone stood brave Horatius,
But constant still in mind;
Thrice thirty thousand foes before,
And the broad flood behind.

"Down with him!" cried false Sextus,
With a smile on his pale face.
"Now yield thee," cried Lars Porsena,
"Now yield thee to our grace."

That was how I remembered it..I know it's part of a longer story, but I didn't think that this would be smack in the middle of it. So I hunted around for the original...and I found it. The first time I heard it I think I was about 8 or 9.. But I really liked it. I don't think I understood much of it at the time. At first I was confused of how it started...cause I kept on thinking of the Declaration of Independence..^_^;;

And for the longest time I've been frustrated cause my IE fonts are overly huge. Finally. Stupid me. hehe...and talk about stupidity, last night was the first time I ate sharks' fin soup without the shark fin. XP Since I've got limited time online..I thought I'd make the best of it and update update update!!! Which would include my ie, wmp, avast, manga, anime......alot.alot.alot.
