When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home, <br />Let him combat for that of his neighbours; <br />Let him think of the glories of Greece and of Rome, <br />And get knock'd on the head for his labours. <br />To do good to mankind is the chivalrous plan, <br />And, is always as nobly requited; <br />Then battle for freedom wherever you can, <br />And, if not shot or hang'd, you'll get knighted.<br /><br />George Gordon Byron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stanzas-when-a-man-hath-no-freedom/
