Synopsis
Excerpt from Thermopylae: Newdigate Verse, 1881
They therefore, some six thousand men in all, Marched to the pass, and built anew the wall, Built of old time by Phocians to restrain The wild Thessalian riders of the plain, Marauding through their valleys at their will When summer nights were cool on shore and hill. Here they encamped, and waited for the king; Whose army, pouring with the break of spring Through Phrygia from its winter camp, had rolled Across the bridges of the ford of gold.
