     [...] Anon they move
     In perfect phalanx to the Dorian mode
     Of flutes and soft recorders — such as raised
     To height of noblest temper heroes old
     Arming to battle, and instead of rage
     Deliberate valour breathed, firm, and unmoved
     With dread of death to fligh or foul retreat;
     Nor wanting power to mitigate and suage
     With solemn touches troubled thoughts, and chase
     Anguish and doubt and fear and sorrow and pain
     From mortal or immortal minds. [...]
