Prologue to the Tragedy of SEMI RAMIS
A fragmentary prologue in mock heroic verse asks soldiers to return to duty and honor. The speaker, addressing the audience, pleads for the author’s brothers of the sword to restore rank and loyalty, warning of critics and urging commitment to the capital defense. The lines mix theatrical bravado with trench wartime imagery and mockery of naval and toils.
