Young men of Sparta, stand and fight
Shoulder to shoulder in the fray;
Fear not, tis vile to think of flight,
Stout-hearted face the foe this day...
Return a hero, battle crowned
Or else fall fighting in the van
So set the teeth and stand your ground,
Unflinching, as becomes a man!
~Tytaeus

Thanks for posting - Memorised that as a kid in our Classics classes and wanted to know who authored it
