No poem today. Instead, a funky piece of writing on St Paul's visit to the hill, and the oration he made there.

A quotation from Kit Marlowe

TAMBURLAINE: Then shall we fight courageously with them?
   Or look you I should play the orator?
TECHELLES: No; cowards and faint-hearted runaways
   Look for orations when the foe is near:
   Our swords shall play the orators for us.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
Tamburlaine the Great, Part 1, Act 1, sc. 2 (1586-1587)
