Some selected lines from the works of the Spartan poet Tyrtaeus, who was also a military man, his poems were sung to inspire his men and now the South Sydney Rabbitohs..... You should reach the limits of virtue, before you cross the border of death. How glorious fall the valiant, sword in hand, in front of battle for their native land! Rise up, warriors, take your stand at one anothers sides, our feet set wide and rooted like oaks in the ground. ...learn to love deaths ink-black shadow as much as you love the light of dawn. Here is courage, mankinds finest possession, here is the noblest prize that a young man can endeavor to win.
