O sorrowful and ancient days, where learned ye to make sepulchers? Who taught you all the evil ways, wherein to wound men's souls in wars? Woe to that sacrificial priest, first craftsman of the blacksmith's forge, who saw strange shapes within his fire, and hammered out illgotten swords. 

Whoever fashioned the first bow, and flight of arrows, swift, secure, launched anger on the air and made the bitterness of death more sure. Who tempered spearheads for their work, he breathed upon the anvil death; he hammered out the slender blade, and from the body crushed the breath. 

He gave to death a thrusting spear, who first dress up his battle-hosts. Long since hath fared his vaulting soul, to dwell a ghost amid the ghosts. Eugenius Vulgarius, 900 c.
