Why We Fight

Let us eat and drink with cheerful hearts,
for our deeds are approved by the gods.
Treasure the time you spend with women and
find all the pleasures they were created to provide.

Women are the reason we fight our enemies.

Approach every task as if it were your last,
especially when making love. When we die,
all our plans and knowledge will cease.
Remember this in the moments of your coming.

The woman you find such joy in will cease
as surely as any soldier in battle. Her frantic
romping and passionate and sighs will be forgotten
when our histories are tossed out with our ashes.
