Three verses three went out to fight, their very dear countries were in a plight. The horn blew and the swords clashed, two Horatii were down in a flash. The Curatti of Alba cheered “We have won” but then Horatius slew everyone. And when Horatius finally went home he found his sister was not cheering for Rome. Horatius got angry, slew her, and was sentenced to death but the people of Rome would not allow his loss of breath. They built him a statue of solid gold and showed it so all the Roman people could behold. The soldiers were happy the Romans were too, even the Latins had a smile or two.
