Epic poem by Thomas Babington Macaulay, not in length but in greatness of spirit, heroism, and sacrifice. Like the 300 of Sparta that would later hold off 2,000,000 Persians from Greece, Horatius with only two others held off 100,000 enemy soldiers from invading Rome. The story is amazing. It should be memorized by every boy, every man.
