Tidampeza woyang'anira mchipinda chake. Anatisiyira ndakatulo yaying'ono:
Ndikutha kuyang'anitsitsa mayadi chikwi
Ndipo sindimamva fungo labwino kwambiri;
Pali china chake chomwe ndimafundidwacho
Sindikuphimba-ndiyenera.Sindingathe kugona tulo
Ngakhale mwina ine ndikuyenera;
Ndinaganiza kuti ndingathe kupirira, abwenzi anga:
Ikupezeka ine sindingathe.Mwina nyengo ikusewera zododometsa;
Mwina ndi tsiku chabe;
Ngati mutha kupeza mwayi wolemba izi:
Ingodziwa kuti palibe vuto.
Chabwino, iwo anali malingaliro.
"Palibe vuto," ndinatero kwa thupi lake.
Pambuyo pake tidamuyimbira kumwamba, kapena kulikonse komwe amakhala amangotiuza kuti tikuyimbira anthu.
Tonsefe tinali titatopa. Chifukwa chokha chomwe aliyense sanadzichokere okha chinali chifukwa choganizira anzawo; koma amzakewo analibe chifukwa choti angodzichotsera okha koma obwezera.
Woyang'anira, zikuwoneka, anali atapeza njira yothetsera: siya ndakatulo, ndikunena kuti zili bwino.
Ndi njira yodziwika bwino: imodzi yokhala ndi chidaliro, ngakhale palibe yopezeka mkati; lingaliro ndilokuti kufotokoza kudandaula kudzalepheretse utumiki wabwino.
Koma, zonsezi sizikutanthauza kumuweruza mwankhanza, kapena kunena kuti cholembedwacho sichinali ndi tanthauzo: ngakhale anthu atati "Nil nisi bonum," sipakanakhala chifukwa chomenyera kavalo wakufa; zomwe zikutanthauza kuti ndikutsimikiza kuti woyendetsa sitimayo anali ndi zifukwa zake, ndipo ambiri a ife tidagawana nawo. Ena a ife, kuti tipewe kuwonongeka kwa woyendetsa sitima, timamatira ku lingaliro loti tiyenera kukhalabe ndi moyo. Ena onse anangodziwa kuti nthawi zonse pamakhala nthawi yakufa.
Mulimonse momwe zingakhalire: wina amathamangira m'malo awa: imeneyo ndi njira ina. Ndipo titadzakumananso ndi Imfa tsiku lotsatira, tonse mwadzidzidzi tidapeza chifukwa chomamatira ku Moyo.

Nanga ndinganene chiyani anzanga? Titha kutaya nkhondo zonse ndikupambana pankhondo: Pyrrhus adatiphunzitsa izi. Iye anali wochokera ku Epirus. Ndipo a Rus 'enieni anali kudziwa za chitsanzo chake.
Tsiku lotsatira tonse tinatemberera kapiteni m'mitima mwathu ndikumuyankha kuti: "Akadakhala kuti ali pano!"
Koma sanali.
Ndipo zipolopolozo zinkalepheretsedwa ndi mulu wa matupi, ndipo zida zankhwangwa zinatopa ndi kugwa.

Koma panali kukongola koteroko! Mphamvu iliyonse idalimbitsidwa.
Reville yomwe idapangidwa ndi volley yoyamba ya mbandakucha idapangitsa ambiri a ife kuphulika ndi chisangalalo. Zina, zidaphulika pakusokonekera kwamagazi. Tinawaimbiranso kulikonse mtsogolo; ngakhale sitinathe kuyika dzina kwa ambiri, monga Kaputeni.

Kenako zinatha, ndipo panapita zaka zambiri. Ndipo tidaganiza kuti zatha kalekale.
Ndipo ife timangodutsa pa wailesi, ndikukumbukira Kapiteni.
