Drum - n. Music of March.
Justinius : I heard the drums, Mercutio. What gives?
Mercutio: For the glory of the Republic we march on a new foe.
Justinius : A new foe? Even as we are being beaten by the old?
Mercutio: Yes! But this one is bigger, stronger, more powerful..
Justinius: Can this be best?
Mercutio: Absolutely. For when we beat this foe all our losses in the previous war will be forgiven and forgotten.
Justinius: And if we lose once again?
Mercutio: A bigger foe still. Our victory is inevitable: God is on our side.
Justinius: God go with you, then. [aside] Though I wish you had a God with better sense.
