Homer on men

Who dares think one thing, and another tell,
My heart detests him as the gates of hell.

A glorious death is his
Who for his country falls.

Bird-signs!
Fight for your country⁠—that is the best, the only omen!

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
