Fate is the same for the man who holds back, the same if he fights hard. We are all held in a single honor, the brave with the weaklings. A man dies still if he has done nothing, as the one who has done much.
Even when someone battles hard, there is an equal portion for one who lingers behind, and in the same honor are held both the coward and the brave man; the idle man and he who has done much meet death alike.
Of men who have a sense of honor, more come through alive than are slain, but from those who flee comes neither glory nor any help.
All men owe honor to the poets - honor and awe; for they are dearest to the Muse who puts upon their lips the ways of life.

Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.
